That's what I've done to get my TrueType Windows Fonts available to X11 : Just copied the fonts to the folder /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF with this copy, I get the fonts for OpenOffice and Gimp (i.e.) but they are not present on Mozilla and cannot see them on Nautilus going to the fonts:/// folder. So, to get them on Mozilla or on the fonts:/// folder, I've created the folder /usr/share/fonts/windows-fonts and copied again the fonts to this folder. Then edited the file /usr/share/fonts/fonts.cache-1 to include the following line: "windows-fonts" 0 ".dir" I don't know if it is the best way to install the windows fonts, but this worked for me and I had no time to investagate more abuit it. Hope this helps ... I'm newbie at linux and cannot help more by now. Regards, Jordi.
