Refers a bit to the Xfce/Xft howto, although the setup mentioned there
isn't sufficient to get Openbox/Xft working. Basically, you need to
make sure that a reliable fonts.dir/fonts.scale exists for your TrueType
font directory, and that the TrueType font directory is on the X font
path (either through editing the X configuration file, or via xset).
Debian's TrueType setup is a bit weird at the moment in unstable, which
is why I had problems. But now I'm enjoying TrueType working, and the
Openbox developers no longer have to worry about some kind of weird bug
in their font rendering code. :)
