I have searched google (got mandrake specific guides), this site and also read the font-howto (not thoroughly, i am half asleep here :)), yet I can't find out how to import Windows fonts.

FYI I have Windows on a sepearate partition.

Can anybody tell me how to import Windows fonts?

Thanks in advance.

That's not really what I was looking for.

I want to take the fonts that reside in C:\windows\fonts. Then I think you have to convert them to types that X will understand, and then put them in the appropriate directories. How do I do this?

You don't have to convert them, because they are TrueType fonts, which XFree 4.x understands, as well as apps using the freetype2 engine.

So https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=4825 is applicable, because it tells you how to configure TrueType fonts.
