Personally, I have to say that I have had not an entirely pleasant experience using Debian as a desktop system, although I'm quite happy with it as a non-graphical server. Anyway to answer your question, here's my experience... Start KDE control centre and select 'look and feel' - 'fonts' . If truetype fonts are not there but you know that the font server has them available then select the 'Use Anti-Aliasing for fonts' option, apply settings and restart the X server . Go back to the same dialog and truetype fonts might be there. I couldn't figure out much logic to the process but it worked for me. This didn't mean an end to my font problems however. After I had set everything up, on the next reboot all fonts seemed to display in a very much larger size on the screen. I decided to get rid of the Xft font server and let X handle truetype fonts itself. Can't remember if this solved many problems 'cos after that ran into problems with sound in kde - think it might have been something I installed. Anyway, have only used the most primitive window manager the last few days 'cos I have decided to blast my way through Quake2 (again) - at the moment it seems to be a more rewarding experience than configuring Debian.

Debian Linux Had Gnome GUI and got MS Truetyoe fonts installed through the long and tortuous process... Have decided to change to KDE 'cos it suits my migration from RISC OS better etc. However, MS TT fonts are not available now. Any quick answers or do I have to find some other long and tortuous process to get them back?
