[SLE] Byte code interpreter in 10.0?
I have read that the byte code interpreter has been turned on in SUSE 10.1. That is why the fonts look so good. But I can't verify this statement. If it's on in 10.1, has it also been turned on in 10.0? I can't find the answer in the SUSE list archives or on Google.

Nah. He must mean Tcl byte code. It tastes better! -- Roger Oberholtzer -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Since he's talking about turning it on, dollars to donuts it's about the font thing -- Ut supra post festum sunt obscura -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Hello both Yes, I remember that it could be turned on in 8.3 by recompiling something by using the source CDs. Can't remember what! It improved the look of the fonts considerably. As I wrote in my original posting, I have read that 10.1 is supplied with it turned on, and I wondered if it is also turned on in 10.0. The fonts in 10.1 look great. That's why I asked - I was just wondering.

Yes, Keith, it was on in 10.0 as well. You'll find it in the freetype2 file. You can also visit their site to get the lowdown on what they have done. I agree, the fonts do look good on my new LCD too! ;-) --Lee -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

You should turn it on in /etc/sysconfig/fonts-config by setting: BYTECODE_BW_MAX_PIXEL="18" instead of 0. and then run SuSEconfig. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Thanks, for your help, Bruce. I have now turned it on as per your instructions, and the fonts look even better. For me, the Linux screen fonts were a bit of a disappointment. This has helped a lot to improve them.

Just to piggy back on this. I too did the above (in 10.0) and am quite pleased with the results. Thanks to Bruce for the tip.

Thanks for your reply, Lee. It's now on in both 10.1 and 10.1 and the fonts look great on my 15" LCD monitor. I'll investigate the SUSE site as you suggested. Cheers Keith
