I have XFree 4.0.3 and I'm using xfstt. It works fine for me. There may
be other alternatives, but this is what I was using in 3.3.6, and so I
just carried it over to 4.0. Once you get xfstt installed, add:
FontPath "unix/:7101"
to /etc/X11/XF86Config, and make sure xfstt starts before X. I do this by
creating a xfstt.sh and a xserver.sh in /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d. the contents
of xfstt.sh are:
#!/bin/sh
PREFIX=/usr/X11R6
case "$1" in
start)
${PREFIX}/bin/xfstt --sync >/dev/null
${PREFIX}/bin/xfstt --user nobody --notcp --daemon && echo -n '
xfstt'
;;
stop)
/usr/bin/killall xfstt 2>/dev/null && echo -n ' xfstt'
;;
*)
echo "$0 start | stop"
;;
esac
(this actually comes with the port)
