Is there anyone who uses an LG Flatron L1510S TFT monitor with SUSE 9.3?
If so, please could you give me some advice on how to get decent looking fonts on it? Preferably what your settings are.
SNIP <<< Keith, There have been several mails about this problem and should be in

I guess some of the first things you might want to take a look at is the KDE settings. Make sure the anti-aliasing is turned on. Also, be sure you are not running the monitor beyond it's recommended screen size. I believe for a 15" it would be 1024x768?
The last thing I can think of is the bytecode setting in freetype2. Some have turned that on and recompiled the rpm. It seems to have helped several using a LCD to clear up the font outlines. It's already in the spec file of the src.rpm, so just edit that, recompile and install the new rpms.
Also, check the archives again for more on this subject, there are mails there.

Many thanks for your reply, Lee. Your help is appreciated. I have looked in the archives several times, but have not been able to find any postings about this problem. The archives are not easy or pleasant to search, with all the spam in there. Genuine postings tend to get hidden amongst it! I will investigate this bytecode setting you suggest, and have yet another look in the archives. It's strange that SUSE, one of the leading (*the* leading?) distros, should have the worst fonts of any distribution I have tried. cheers Keith
