The freetype web page also mentions that their pixel-hinting algorithms are actually better than the bytecode interpreter, so they recommend to
That would be really nice, yet I could never get freetype to display as clear fonts as with the bytecode enabled, so for me bytecode is the best option available.
I finally decided to give the bytecode interpreter a try, went to download the freetype2 sources (version 2.1.9, to be exact) and enabled the bytecode interpreter by removing the comments in one of the header files in the source code. What follows then is the usual combo of:
./configure make make install
For freetype2, i also had to copy the resulting library files from /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib, but this was also done in a few seconds.
Any other ideas and suggestions?
Konqueror Preferences > Fonts, but Nimbus, which has to be changed, to use
For German-speaking people, there is a HOWTO that explains how to recompile the src.rpm in order to enable the bytecode-interpreter, by simply editing the .spec-file. http://www.antikoerperchen.de/deutsch/howto-30.php The only two things I would have to add, are first, Yast somehow does not install the src.rpm, so one has to do it in the console using rpm -Uhv and second, KDE 3.4 does not default to Sans Serif/Serif in Konqueror > Settings the MS TT-Fonts. Maybe, if somebody has the time to do it, one could put up a site at www.susewiki.org, to spread the word about re-compiling the src.rpm. Sven
