That unfortunately assumes you have paid for WinNT in the
first place.  I used the money allocated for the WinNT
license to buy a three-button mouse :-)

However, the Microsoft web site does have all the
important TTF fonts downloadable for free (and they
include the Euro sign).

Yep, it's a vast improvement :-)

The easy way is to install a xfsft RPM.  Get


http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/linux/redhat/contrib/libc6/i386/xfsft-0.1g-1.i386.rpm

for an old but usable version that should install on
RedHat Linux >= 5.0.

The xfsft home page is at:

  http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jec/programs/xfsft/

and it has links to more recent non-RPM binaries.

The hard way is to load the X11 SPRMS, compile the FreeType source,
apply the xfsft patches and recompile X11.  I don't recommend this
for people that are still new enough to post HTML (and in red no less)
to USENET.

Cheers,
Glen.
