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.
