Put the font into, for example, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF.

Invoke (sudo) ttfmkfontdir in this directory to create the fonts.dir 
and fonts.scale files.

Add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ to the X server's search path for 
fonts, by

	either invoking 'xset +fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ ; xset fp 
rehash' (check with xlsfonts)

	or putting /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ into your .xinitrc file where 
xset is used to adapt the search path for fonts (valid with X11's next 
launch).


Andale Mono is a Unicode encoded font, so there shouldn't be any 
problem with missing encodings. OTOH there are versions of ttfmkfontdir 
and mkfontdir (for PostScript Type 1 and bitmapped fonts) that can 
create many font encodings for X from one font file:

If you have GTK2+ enabled X clients be aware that they'll launch quite 
late: GTK2 first produces fonts.cache files ...
