Fonts

[Jeff Mings]

Hi Rodney,

    I have had a slightly different experience with TrueType fonts with 
RH 7.1 .  I do a lot of graphic work, and have found a lot of useful 
free TT fonts.  I installed them with the ridiculously simple ttmkfdir 
program.  It's command line based and works with your existing xfs 
installation.  I believe I snagged it from rpmfind.net.  I found that 
the new fonts I add are available in Killustrator and Gimp, but not in 
Sketch or StarOffice.  I believe the latter two only want to see 
Postscript fonts.
