This is tutorial how to install true type font in FreeBSD.
Load freetype module in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file inside “Module” section:
Load "freetype"
And then, create folder for True Type Font (.ttf). It has default location in /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF. Copy all .ttf files to this folder (some files have Microsoft license, it is not legal to copy).
Create fonts.dir file (something like a font archive).
# cd /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
# ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir
The last, add this FontPath into /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in “Files” section:
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF"
Restart X Server (re-login).
Finish.
