1. were are fonts installed in linux, specificaly RH9 and fedoraC1?

2. do any TTF fonts work in linux?

3. if the answere to #2 is no, what type of fonts do i need and were can i get them?

4. what is the max # of fonts that is safe to install into *nix?

thanks for the info and heads up. still moving closer and closer every day to 100% *nix for my business.

This might not help since Slackware and RH aren't the same,
but it might give you a place to start looking. And I'd think
that RH either has documentation on their website, or with the
CD's to tell you this.

TTF fonts work fine in Linux. I used the ones that came with
Windoze, and with software designed for Windoze, such as
the Adobe apps. Type1 fonts and just about all others are
reported to work, also.

Maximum number of fonts isn't as important as how many you
actually use. I have about 2,000+ TTF fonts, but haven't used
more than about 15 of them. If you put them all in your font
path, some programs will take a long time to load -- like all of
the apps you use under Wine, since it uses Windoze binaries
or dll's or whatever. If you run Wine, you'll have to put the
fonts for it to use in you fake c drive under /windows/Fonts
for those apps to use them.
