I have TrueType fonts working. In fact, they've worked for over a year since I first set them up, and I haven't had to do anything to keep them working since first setting it up. Unfortunately, it's been so long, I can't remember exactly what I went through to get it setup. All I can tell you is that it was a 2 or 3 step process and everything I need to know I found through Google.
The only thing I do to add the TrueType fonts to my font path is with the following call (which has to be run AFTER XWin starts):
xset fp+ /cygdrive/c/winnt/fonts
I've got the following versions of the XFree packages installed...
XFree86-base 4.3.0-1 XFree86-bin 4.3.0-2 XFree86-etc 4.3.0-3 XFree86-f100 4.2.0-3 XFree86-fenc 4.2.0-3 XFree86-fnts 4.2.0-3 XFree86-fscl 4.2.0-3 XFree86-lib 4.3.0-1 XFree86-lib-compat 4.3.0-1 XFree86-man 4.3.0-1 XFree86-prog 4.3.0-4 XFree86-ps 4.3.0-1 XFree86-startup-scripts 4.2.0-5 XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-9

I just upgraded my system to the latest XFree (4.3.0-4, I believe). In my
startxwin I had an xset fp+ to add the truetype fonts directory to the font
path (which I never got working...perhaps this is a hint, but...)
With the latest bits the Xserver core dumps shortly after the xset fp+ happens.
So, two questions, which hopefully someone can easily answer:
1) Have you successfully added truetype fonts to your font path? If so, how?\
2) Failing at 1), has anyone else observed this problem with 4.3.0-4?
Thanks
Benn
