    How to install True Type Fonts?

    Note: I'm using knoppix 3.6

    I installed ttf-xfree86-nonfree true type font package using synaptic GUI for apt. I did the following as stated in
    /usr/share/doc/ttf-xfree86-nonfree/README.Debian

    I added the follwoing lines to XF86Config:

    FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
    FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID"

    I added the following to XftConfig:

    dir "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
    dir "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID"

    What do I need to do next?

    I would like to be able to select the fonts in KDE. Can I use KDE Control Center to select them?

    If you can give a step by step explanation since I'm a wrather newbie to Linux, about one year experience with Redhat 9.

    I appreciate any effort that you might make in trying to help me out.

    Not an answer, but here's what didn't work for me.

    I tried installing msttcorefonts on klik, but it wouldn't work -- "update-ms-fonts can only be run as root"

    Then I tried doing it this way:
    http://rsgibson.com/linuxfonts.htm
    with the ttmkfdir, but I got an error about the thing as being only read only. Sigh.
