    Hi,

    Is there a "Fonts How To" for Debian Sarge? I am trying to follow some
    instructions:
    1) The KDE Font installer
    2) http://new.linuxnow.com/docs/content/TT-Debian/TT-Debian-3.html
    3) http://www.paulandlesley.org/linux/debian_tt.html

    but I just keep getting only that many fonts :(

    I hope somebody is able to point me in a right and relevant directions.
    Why the #$%* can't the font installation and setup be a bit easier?

    ->HS

    Here are my config files:
    /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 part:
    Section "Files"
             FontPath "unix/:7101" # local font server
             FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
             # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
             #FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
             #FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
             #FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
             #FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
             #FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
             #FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
             #FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
             FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
             FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
             FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
             FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
             FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
             FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
             FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
             FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
             FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
             FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
             FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID"
             FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
