xfstt problem...

[Wheaty]

In my attempt to get my Windows fonts working in Linux, I decided to use xfstt method in the NHF. I added the required lines to my rc.local file so that xfstt starts up when I turn my computer on.

The first account I log into and start up X with works fine (all the Windows fonts are available), however if I log out of X and attempt to log into another account, the fonts are missing. Is there any way to fix this? (I'm using Slack 8)

How is xfstt started up in your rc.local script?

This is how I do it:

# rc.local script
# example

xfstt=`which xfstt`

if [ -x $xfstt ]; then

$xfstt --sync
$xfstt --daemon

fi

# eof

Of course this assumes you have the appropriate "unix/:7101" in your fontpath.

Excellent, I'll try that out.

All I have in mine is:

xfstt --sync
xfstt &

(I believe that's what the NHF recommends...)
