I am trying to add Windows fonts to my Eee PC which is running the Eee 
PC version of Xandros.

I started using Method 3 from 
http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2005/12/adding-windows-fonts-in-linux.html 
and got as far as running "mkfontdir" while in the 
"/usr/share/fonts/truetype/windowsfonts" directory. The file "fonts.dir" 
appeared in that directory. I then looked for "fonts.cache-1" in the 
"/usr/share/fonts/truetype" directory and couldn't find it. I tried 
entering "whereis fonts.cache-1" and got

fonts: /etc/fonts /usr/share/fonts

I looked in those directories and couldn't find it.

My experience with linux is minimal.
