Installation

# rpm -Uvh freetype-1.1-1a.ppc.rpm
# rpm -Uvh VFlib2-2.24.0-0.3a.ppc.rpm
# rpm -Uvh xtt-fonts-1.0_X11R6.3_1r-1a.ppc.rpm
# rpm -Uvh xtt-libfont-1.0pl00_X11R6.3_1s-1b.ppc.rpm
# rpm -Uvh xtt-1.0pl00_X11R6.3_1s-1b.ppc.rpm

At this point, you can start X and use the default English truetype fonts, but you may probably want to replace default English truetype fonts by some Japanese trutype fonts (generically called foobar something below) now. Put them into /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType:

# cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
# mv <somewhere>/foobar*.ttc .
# ls foobar*.ttc
foobargothic.ttc
foobarmincho.ttc
# mv fonts.dir fonts.dir.ORIG
# cat > /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/fonts.dir
4
foobar-gothic.vflib -fb-gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0
ai=0.3:foobar-gothic.vflib -fb-gothic-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0
foobar-mincho.vflib -fb-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0
ai=0.3:foobar-mincho.vflib -fb-mincho-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0
^D

Now you can start X and try the truetype fonts:

$ xlsfonts | grep foobar
-fb-gothic-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0
-fb-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0
$ xfd -fn `xlsfonts | grep fb-gothic`
