Subject: Other precompiled XFree86 RPMs with TrueType support

In last week's LWN you mentioned that

> XFree86 3.3.3.1 w/ TrueType support RPMS are the latest gift from 
> Andrew McRory to the Caldera user base. You can find them here. 

As a side note, Jörg Pommnitz's xfsft page also has pre-compiled XFree86
3.3.3.1 w/ TrueType support RPMS, based directly on the Redhat src
RPMs.  You can get them from
http://www.darmstadt.gmd.de/~pommnitz/xfsft.html  This page also has a
link for a program to create an appropriate fonts.scale file in the TT
fonts directory, so you can use them.

I have been using them for a while and they work great.
