I've successfully used random TTF fonts from the web with Seawolf, so I assume they should work. Installation is pretty simple--check out the TT-XFree86 mini-HOWTO at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/TT-XFree86.html It's not long, and explains it better than I can. One thing I would do differently than in the HOWTO: if you want to add a directory to your font path, don't modify your XF86Config* file as it suggests. Assuming that Skipjack2 uses the X font server like previous releases, you should add any new directories to the catalogue in /etc/X11/fs/config (location could be different, but probably not).
