Re: Adding fonts

["S James S Stapleton" <stapleton dot 41 at osu dot edu>]

Yes. It's as easy as:
cp /path/to/original.font /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/[fonttype]/

where you replace [fonttype] with the type of font you want

ex. copy all windows ttf fonts over:
$ cp /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Fonts/*.[tT][tT][fF] /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf/


Caveat:
You might run into problems, depending on if you are running in dos or unix 
line mode, I can't remember...

Hope that helps,
-Jim Stapleton
