Greetings, I have FreeBSD 4.0-release installed on my computer. I have KDE. I have followed the handbook for setting up X. One of the sections talked about using TrueType fonts with X. I followed along, but had problems. Here's what I did: 1. installed xfstt from ports (XFree86 seems to be 3.3.5) 2. installed ttmkfdir from ports 3. created directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType 4. ftp'd TrueType fonts from my windows box to the TrueType directory. 5. Changed owner on TrueType by: Chown -R root /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType 6. Changed perms to 755. 7. cd to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType 8. ttmkfdir > fonts.dir 9. examined fonts.dir. permissions & ownership match other files. 10. started xfstt by: xfstt --daemon 11. xset fp+ inet/127.0.0.1:7101 12. xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType I then get this error: xset bad font path element (#42) possible causes are: directory does not exist or has wrong permissions directory missing fonts.dir incorrect font server address or syntax I set permissions on the TrueType directory to 777, and still got the message. I killed off xfstt and restarted it: xset fp+ unix/:7101 but still got the message. what am I missing here ? thanks for any help, Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
