* David Krider (david@davidkrider.com) [030415 19:31]: ->One of the most important things to me about a Linux distro is the font ->situation. I like using a nice, antialiased Verdana everywhere I look. ->Since the Mozilla that ships with 8.2 isn't compiled against Xft2 (like ->some *other* distro with which I am all too familiar), I don't want to ->use it at all. That leaves me perfectly happy to use 12pt Lucida ->everywhere, which, now that I've been using it again after many months, ->I'm finding very welcome. It's just much more clear to my myopic eyes. -> I don't know about Gnome and the way it handles fonts...KDE works great with fonts. But I digress. If you want to have Mozilla use fonts correctly then I would suggest enabling freetype in your unix.js file. It's located here .. " /opt/mozilla/defaults/pref ". What your going to want to edit in this file is the pathto your fonts and uncomment the reference to freetype which might be commented out. It looks like this. ----- // TrueType pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true); pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6"); pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", false); pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", true); pref("font.antialias.min", 10); pref("font.embedded_bitmaps.max", 1000000); pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.min", 64); pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.gain", "0.8"); pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype"); ----- If you do this then you'll get the display you want. If it's the fonts on the popdowns..since your using Gnome I don't know what to say. I use QtCurve for my GTK and KDE apps. This along with Geramik make GTK and QT apps uniform and make the GTK apps take their hints from KDE which has correct font handling. :) Hope that helps in some way. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
