For all RedHat users it might be of interest that there is a version of
XFree86 with TTF support out. The rpm's of RedHat are damaged (or were
when I grabbed them) and xfs, the font server wasn't working.
On http://www.darmstadt.gmd.de/~pommnitz/XF86-xfsft/
there are fixed rpm's with TTF support, xfs is working with that ones and
with TT fonts.
