[Slightly OT] True Type font installation on Solaris

Gurus,
I am badly in need help here.

I need to install a True Type font on Solaris to be used in Oracle Reports
generated in post script format.

What I have done is:
- Get the font ttf file on the Solaris server.
- Use the tool /usr/dt/bin/sdtfontadm to install the font.

The tool list the font in its list as successfully installed, however the
command xlsfonts did not show that the font get installed.

My questions:
- Is the above method correct ? Any trick there ?
- Where did xlsfonts get the list of fonts ? and how could I let the
command see my ttf font ?
- Any link to download a Solaris complied version of tool ttkmkfdir ?
- Any other application to view fonts on Solaris ?

I will appreciate any help or link, and I will sure summarize.

Thanks
Levi
