Re: [aclug-L] fonts...

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The easiest thing is to get PostScript (aka Type 1) fonts.  Most companies
that sell fonts provide them in this format as well, since most
publishing/print shops require that format, as do most non-Microsoft
platforms.  If this is not available, you want xfstt.  This is an X Font
Server, so it can actually serve up TrueType fonts for an entire network. 
If you have Debian, it is a Debian package.  Otherwise, you can find it on
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/X11/fonts/.  xfstt is a quite nice solution and
works well.
