[Halb] Hi,

As far as I know xfs is allready installed on RedHat distro's from 6.2 and up. But there are not many TTF installed, so you have to 'install' them seperatly. Going to www.redhat.com, clicking on 'support' and searching for 'fonts' results in: http://www.redhat.com/support/alex/215.html which is a fairly short intro into adding extra TTF. It should work that way, if somehow xfs is not installed, the rpm should be on your redhat cd.

Watch out for these tripwires (cavcats or something they are called here on the list...):

• _no_ capital letters in the fontnames.
• corect usage of ttmkfdir
• correctly setting up XF86Config

A search on www.google.com/linux for 'ttf redhat howto' returned(among others):

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/other-formats/html_single/FDU.html#INTRO

or of course the linuxgazette search engine came up with this:

Have fun reading the documentation.
