      The <application>Xorg</application> font packages provide some scalable
      fonts and supporting packages for <application>Xorg</application>
      applications. Many people will want to install other TTF or OTF fonts in

    <para>
      First, create a list of files to be downloaded. This file will also
      be used to verify the integrity of the downloads when complete:

      use the following commands:

    <para>
      First, start a subshell that will exit on error:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>bash -e</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Install all of the packages by running the following commands:
    </para>

      Finally, exit the shell that was started earlier:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>exit</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      When all of the fonts have been installed, the system must be
      configured so that <application>Fontconfig</application> can find the
      TrueType fonts since they are outside of the default search path of
      <filename class="directory">/usr/share/fonts</filename>.  Make symlinks
      to the <application>Xorg</application> TrueType font directories by
      running the following commands as the
      <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
    </para>
