8 ==========
9 I got xfsft from http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jec/progindex.html.
10 I have it running all the time.  Here is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config:
11 clone-self = on
12 use-syslog = off
13 catalogue = /c/windows/fonts
14 error-file = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/fs-errors
15 default-point-size = 120
16 default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100
17 Obviously /c/windows/fonts is where my Windows fonts on my
18 Win95 C: drive live; could be e.g. /mnt/dosC/windows/system
19 for Win31.
20 In /c/windows/fonts/fonts.scale I have
21 14
22 arial.ttf -monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
23 arialbd.ttf -monotype-arial-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
24 arialbi.ttf -monotype-arial-bold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
25 ariali.ttf -monotype-arial-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1

28 courbi.ttf -monotype-courier-bold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
29 couri.ttf -monotype-courier-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1

35 wingding.ttf -microsoft-wingdings-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-microsoft-symbol
36                                                              
37 In /c/windows/fonts/fonts.dir I have exactly the same.
38
39 In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config I have
40 FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100"
41 in front of the other FontPath lines.
42 That's it!  As an interesting by-product of course, all those web
43 pages which specify Arial come up in Arial in Netscape ...
44 =======
45 7. Shut down X and restart ( and debug errors you did while setting
46    up everything.
47
48 8. Test with e.g "xlsfont |grep arial"
