- As to compression, I'm not sure. Mine wouldn't work until I UNcompressed
- the files. So, that could be either way for you.

- Mkfontdir is an executable in X bin directory. To use it, cd to the dir
- where the fonts are located and simply type mkfontdir. It will create a
- file called fonts.dir.
