Hi!

I'm trying to install some new postscript-fonts on a 4.0E machine but I
can't get the machine to recognize them. I've put the fonts in a new
directory in /usr/lib/X11/fonts, created fonts.scale (hopefully correct),
ran 'mkfontdir' and 'xset fp rehash'. However they are not found when I
try to print anything or when I use 'xlsfontsel'. I then tried 'xset fp+
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/mydir' but then I got an error message about the
directory might not exist, have the wrong permissions or not contain
fonts.dir. I then tried to put the fonts in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 and
add to that fonts.scale and reran 'mkfontdir' but that didn't work
either. Any ideas what's wrong?
