Re: [STUMP] questions

It isn't in that list. All the fonts in the Font Path are in 
/usr/share/fonts/X11/ while the ttf fonts are in 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype. I tried adding that to the list with "xset 
fp+" but I got a "bad font path element" error. I also tried googling to 
learn a bit more about fonts in X, but damn, anything I find is at least 
a few years old (references to the late xfree86 are abundant). Seems 
like the last time people had font problems was several years ago!

Question is, if the ttf fonts are not in the font path, how come emacs 
can use them?

Thanks,
Mostafa
