[tlug] XFree86 4.3.0 and truetype

[Godwin Stewart <gstewart@example.com>]

Hi all,

I've just installed Slackware 9.0 on my laptop and so far the only problem
I've come across is adding TTF fonts.

This is what I've done:

1) Create a new directory: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf and dump my *ttf
files in there. Files owned by root.root, permissions = -rw-r--r--

2) Run mkfontscale, mkfontdir and fc-cache in order to create fonts.scale,
fonts.cache, encoding.dir and fonts.cache-1

3) Added:

  FontPath  "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf"

to the list of paths in the "Files" section in my /etc/X11/XF86Config file.

Whenever I startx, I get this on the console: "Could not init font path
element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf, removing from list!"

Google hasn't revealed much, nor have the documentation pages on
www.xfree86.org. So, does anyone here know what I'm screwing up?
