Add truetype fonts on X client side

The pdf file [as I understand] encapsulate text, images and fonts so it should give me same result on any os. Many of pdf files I have are generated on windows and use windows fonts. When I open these files with evince [default document viewer] some can't render fonts correctly because windows fonts aren't embedded and not exist on ubuntu too.
What I need to do is make application has correct fonts to use. There are two places that we can add fonts, the first is on server[Xserver] side and the second is on client side. Here I choose second choice by copy fonts required by the document from windows to $HOME/.fonts then caching new fonts by run command 'fc-cache -fv .fonts'. Below is result after adding fonts.
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ ls .fonts
ANGSAB.TTF  ANGSA.TTF    ANGSAUI.TTF  ANGSAUZ.TTF  timesbd.ttf  timesi.ttf
ANGSAI.TTF  ANGSAUB.TTF  ANGSAU.TTF   ANGSAZ.TTF   timesbi.ttf  times.ttf
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ fc-cache -fv .fonts
/home/pnix/.fonts: caching, 12 fonts, 0 dirs
/var/cache/fontconfig: not cleaning unwritable cache directory
/home/pnix/.fontconfig: cleaning cache directory
fc-cache: succeeded
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$

Too many open files

Last week tomcat log file report many error about "Too many open files" when it has high traffic. Some in catalina_log say 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpProcessor[80][272] Starting background thread 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpConnector[80] accept: java.net.SocketException: Too many open files and here is from localhost_log 2007-04-07 16:13:40 StandardWrapperValve[myservlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet myservlet threw exception java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/log/mylog_070407.log (Too many open files) This is because too many file descriptors're opened by tomcat. File descriptor can be limited in both system level and shell level. To check maximum number of fd in system type 'cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max'. In my case it is 65536(someone said it should set to 200000). Tomcat error when try to open socket number 272 so I think 65536 is ok for me for now. Anyway if u want to set it add 'fs.file-max = 200000' to /etc/sysctl.conf pnix@pnix-a7:~$ cat /proc/sys/fs/fil...
