I finally managed to get this up and running, so far I'm pretty happy
with it.
What I did:
* grabbed xfstt-1.0-1.i386.rpm from a local redhat mirror
* ran it through rpm2cpio like this:
rpm2cpio < xfstt-1.0-1.i386.rpm | cpio -id
* placed xfstt in /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/bin
* created "/var/cache/xfstt" (It wants to create the font database in
here)
* xfstt --dir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType --sync
* xfstt --res 120 --daemon
Although it's only been an hour or so it seems to be running well. For
those who don't know the FreeBSD native version wouldn't run for more
than 10 minutes at a time.
Finally, this is a glibc6 binary - so you'll have to upgrade to the
latest linux emulation package.
I'm not going to create a port only because I don't know how.
However... feel free to contact me if you're qualified to do a port and
need additional info from me.
