I'm using several TTF fonts from my Windows system. All you need is to create a new directory, place your fonts there and add the new font path in xorg.conf. Be aware, some font files are not in ttf. AFAIK the Xorg server cannot use ".fon" files. > > PS: I've some docs made in a Windows environment that use fonts I > don't have > on FreeBSD, the replacement is very bad, so OpenOffice offers system > fonts > rather than their fonts (if it has a set), a problem for > portability/compatibility but indeed better for availability. For some reason, I also cannot read some documents because of font problems despite that I have those fonts installed. I used to do "select all" and the change the font to something else; that will make all text readable. Best, Laszlo
