I use the TTCs(Japanese Windows 2000/98/Me's TrueType fonts file).
I try to make fonts.dir by myself, and to use "xset +fp ...", "xset fp
rehash"....
But I can't see the TTCs...(at xfontsel command)

I can use the TTCs at RedHat Linux 7.3, as same fonts.dir, and I see TTCs.
At RedHat Linux XFree86's version is 4.2.0-8.

I wonder the difference is Linux's XF86COnfig-4

Section "Module"
    :
    :
  load "freetype"'.???
EndSection

or another problem?
