Re: adding font in Redhat: How to?

[Vidiot <brown mrvideo vidiot com>]

You should be able to find a HOWTO on the RedHat ftp server.

One command you need is ttmkdir.  Do a -h with it for a little help.

I can't find my notes, otherwise I'd provide better info.

Oh, I'm assuming that you are adding TTF files.
