In any case, I'd suggest the *goal* state needs to be 'clean fonts' ... in/across Opensuse & apps -- e.g. FireFox. How to get there, is up for grabs. Whatever the 'real solution' is, it should be clearly documented. No surprise to anyone that having to do some/all of -- -- use, or not, 'custom' packages -- tweak settings in X11 configs -- change settings in GNOME, KDE & Qt admin panels -- change settings in each app, either runtime or buildtime is less than ideal. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
