hi all, I have been trying to follow the Daemonnews article from last November. I also installed the webfonts port. I copied the webfonts to the TrueType directory and ran ttmkfdir > fonts.dir in each. I installed xfstt, of course. According to 'top' it is running. I thought maybe it wouldn't show up because I have a 800x600 laptop display, but the fonts don't even show up in the list for Netscape, and according to the webfonts port, netscape is supposed to see them. Can somebody help? local:~> cat .xinitrc xset m 3.75 1 xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType xset fp rehash exec /usr/local/bin/bbkeys -i& exec /usr/X11R6/bin/blackbox my relevant Xf86Config: Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" FontPath "/usr/local/applix/axfonts/all_pcf" EndSection Oddly enough, I had to comment out the 2 lines above because X complained it couldn't find them.
