1) cd {location of TT fonts}; ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
2) mkfontdir
3) mkfontalias.py
4) exit X, restart your TT font server (I recommend xfs-xtt), restart X
		[OR]
   xset fp +{location of TT fonts}; xset fp rehash
5) Qt apps will need Qt 2.3.0 recompiled with Xft support.  Then you'll
need to export/setenv QT_XFT[=]true

Search on google.com for mkfontalias.py (I can send it to you if nec.), 
ttmkfdir is in ports.  Hope this helps.

Cheers,
dtc
