True Type fonts under Linux Font handling under Linux is quite a chaos. Here is how I added true type fonts to my Suse Linux 9. In the Control Center -> System Administration -> Font Installer you have to change into Administration mode -> Advanced Mode (with embedded font selector). Then I just selected the fonts I wanted from the fonts directory of my Windows XP partition and clicked Add. By clicking Apply the fonts become available to the X Windows Server. You can do the same by manually copying the fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype and then running xset fp rehash
