Installing a new font



Hello, I would like to do something that is quite simple with standard Unix 
and GNU/Linux hosted X servers, i.e., add a new font.  I have the font as a 
TTF.  For GNU/Linux it is simply necessary to copy the TTF to ~/.fonts/ and 
run mkfontdir in that directory.

Apple as usual seem to have made things much less straightforward.

What magic is required to make MacOS 10.4 X11 see the font ?  I've tried 
copying it to various places such as /System/Library/Fonts 
and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ as well adding FontPath specs. 
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but the server resolutely refuses to load the font.
