>Interesting. I have ttfonts-1.0-4 and ttfonts-ja-1.0-7 installed but no TrueType fonts directory in the X11 path you gave. Mine are in /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType

I'd assume, make sure your font server looks there (vi 
/etc/X11/fs/config).  If so it doesn't really matter where they are.

ttfonts on my machine DID put them in /usr/share/fonts/default/Truetype.  
My /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Truetype must be an anachronism.  But it is included 
in the font server search path AS WELL AS the one in /usr/share so it all 
comes out in the wash.
