I copied several Truetype fonts from Win to redhat7.0, and added them
successfully. but it's too slow. will it be quicker if I convert them
to BDF of other format? which format is fast and small?

btw: I use ttmkfdir to describe these truetype, or called FreeType,
fonts, the size info within this fonts.dir are ...--0-0-0-0-..., so
when I select fonts in netscape, I have to choose 0 or 12 point size.
how to add other size into netscape?
