- Fonts go in your X-Windows font directory (wherever that might be...)
- Once there, you need to compile the fonts (fun, no?) using makefontdir,
- after you got the fonts into the right format (maybe with bdftosnf).
-
- Most likely thsi will work: stick the fonts into your x font directory
- and run makefontdir. Lemme know if that spooges.
