Hi,

In my new installation of FC4, microsoft truetype
fonts are not showing up. For the debugging purpose i
have tried installing/uninstalling this
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/files/msttcorefonts-1.3-3.noarch.rpm
file. What I have noticed is that right after
installation the openoffice shows the fonts ( I
haven't restarted yet). But if I reboot it the fonts
are vanished without the trace. If I rpm -q
msttcorefonts, its still there. Next I tried to
install the fonts manually copying it to
/usr/local/fonts/ttf

# cd /usr/local/fonts/ttf
# ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
mkfontdir

next added the line in /etc/X11/fx/config
"/usr/local/fonts/ttf" (with comma)

still no luck.

Any idea, suggestion? 

By the way I have already installed the compatibility
rpms (in case these are not compatible with gcc).

Thanks in advance
