How do I add fonts withSunOS?

SunOS ships with an X11R4 server, which does not handleeither scaleable fonts or communications with the X font server. If youwant to use the freefonts (or any scalable fonts) on SunOS, you need toinstall your own, newer X server, preferably X11R6.4 (which will be muchfaster than the server shipped with SunOS). If you do this, youwill no longer have PostScript capability directly in your X server; youwill need to use ghostscript.You may well want to keep both serversaround, and use each when you need its features. Of course, you could always try to find a PS version of the font youneed and make a bitmap for the size you need and add that to the X11R4server’s font path, but if you need more than one or two font/sizecombinations over all the time you use GIMP, this is an obnoxioussolution.
