Support for Truetype fonts on my Solaris "box" seems to be shaky:

What I get is similar to this bug report (reported by someone else):

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6633698

sdtfontadm, sdtfontadd, sdtfontls crash on Solaris 10 08/07 Sparc and
X86 (and some on U3 sparc):

 /usr/dt/bin/sdtfontls /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType

Segmentation Fault(coredump)

Work Around  	
N/A

I don't have the time to investigate this myself.

Maybe I can get it done with a minimal fontset file created manually.
