Hello, all. First off, let me say, thanks for making GNOME 2.6 such a pleasure to use on FreeBSD. I have a question: Is there any way to clean up the mess of fonts installed with XFree86 4.3? I would really like to be able to only use TrueType or OpenType fonts on my computer. I don't use Type1 fonts, and I don't use bitmapped fonts, if I can avoid it. Since XFree86 and GNOME both support TrueType and OpenType fonts, it seems like I should be able to eliminate all of those hundreds of (seemingly) random font files strewn about in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. I wish that I could just fill /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts with my .ttf and .otf files, and have those be the only fonts on my system. I understand that there may be some of those "other" fonts that I need to keep on my system (maybe just to satisfy X on startup), but I'd really like to clean some of them up. I hope this message made some sense. Thanks for any help you can give. -Will McCutchen mccutchen@mail.utexas.edu
