Marko-


X fonts?  Dunno.  I imagine there's some documentation out there
somewhere.  TTF fonts?  Google "core fonts" for a good (albeit
dubiously liscenced) starter set.


Good luck!

Hello there,

I am using the xlib backend. I do not have any TTF fonts on my machine. I
have the X fonts in /usr/lib/X11/fonts. How do I tell GNUstep to use them?
Where do I find TTF fonts for use with GNUstep if that doesn't work?

Best regards,

Marko
