In the Handbook=2C under section "5.5.2. TrueType Fonts" it states:

> Once the files have been copied into this directory=2C use ttmkfdir
> to create a fonts.dir=2C so that the X font renderer knows that these
> new files have been installed. ttmkfdir is available from the FreeBSD
> Ports Collection as x11-fonts/ttmkfdir.
=20
ttmkdir is not in the current Ports Collection.  So how does one=20
create fonts.dir?

I'm assuming the Handbook is out of date so I guess what I'm really
asking is how does one add TrueType fonts?
