Install Xfstt through packages
shell# pkg_add -r xfstt
Follow the instructions after xfstt is installed
You will have to install your TrueType fonts in
PREFIX/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
Remember to run the "xfstt --sync" command if you
add fonts while the font server is running.
You should also add the following line to the "Files"
Section of /etc/XF86Config:
FontPath "unix/:7101"
Under FreeBSD 5.4 I installed my TrueType fonts in: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
shell# xfstt --sync
Now you have to restart X
[edit] For those who have X.Org
One can install Truetype fonts just by installing any of the truetype ports in the $PREFXports/x11-fonts
# cd /usr/ports/x11-fonts && make search key=truetype
Xorg can handle the fonts directly and therefore doesn't require you to use Xfstt.
