Hi SuSE folk,
First of all, running a new install of 8.2 Mozilla 1.4b Am having a problem with Mozilla. The fonts in the title bars, menus, etc. are miniscule for my old eyes. Have to get them bigger or there is no way I can use it. Have looked at every possible configuration file and I cannot find anything. All of the rest of my apps seem to work OK.
Second, and worst of all, and for one user only, in the body or page viewing area, where pages are displayed, the fonts are huge, and I mean huge! One inch or more high. Any images on the same page are all normal sized.
Third, I had saved all of my bookmarks from Mozilla from when I was running 8.1. I have copied them to the exact same location /home/bob/.mozilla/bob/ eihc6c5w6.slt/bookmarks.html and Mozilla does not see them. Is this the right place?
Not sure this upgrade was worth all of this trouble. Hope some kind SuSE person can help me out.
Bob, You should most like enable freetype in this config file ..unix.js. It can be found here "/opt/mozilla/lib/defaults/pref/unix.js". You need to make sure it looks like this. ----- // TrueType pref("font.FreeType2.enable", false); pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6"); // if libfreetype was built without hinting compiled in // it is best to leave hinting off pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", false); pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", true); // below a certian pixel size anti-aliased fonts produce poor results 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"); // sample prefs for TrueType font dirs pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/"); //pref("font.directory.truetype.2", "/u/sam/tt_font2"); //pref("font.directory.truetype.3", "/u/sam/tt_font3"); pref("font.FreeType2.printing", true); ----- The line you want to pay attention to is the fonts directory. So if you tell it where your ttf's are then it will look much better. Also, I've been using the 1.4rc3 pkgs from the ftp site which are in /pub/projects/mozilla/experimental/. I'm using the GTK2 builds because the fonts are WAY better and it generally just looks nicer. I will say use this at your own risk because rc3 is a pre-release and all..but I've had good luck with it.
