I have been able to get MS truetype fonts working in Debian, but only in one of the two installs I have made this week. In the second install when I go to "Applications - Desktop Preferences - Fonts", in the section <Details>, changing the selection in "Hinting" options does not affect the shape of the fonts. It seems like the
#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
is not working.
I have followed basiclly the instructions in
http://convexhull.com/mandrake_fonts.html.
Any idea?
