Continuing my "weird font problem" question, I had an idea. I know that XF86 4.x supports two different TrueType modules, and I was wondering if perhaps which ever one I am _not_ using might work better with True Types. How can I switch between the current one and the other one? Thanks, Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R. Butler Universal Networks Information Tech.

Hi everyone, I have a weird TrueType font problem. When I had SuSE 6.1 installed, I used a nice TT server called xfsft - everything was happy and good in the world of TrueType. However, when I went to 6.4, xfstt (notice: this is a different server than the one I used) seemed to do something odd with the fonts. For instance, if I take "courier" (the non-TT one), and open up a Konqueror window, text boxes that use this font are about the same size as those in Windows. However, when I switch to a TrueType font, the boxes get "taller" enough to throw off a good looking page's design. What seems to be happening, is that while the font is only, say 11 pt., the textbox is sized for a 13 or 14 pt. font. Same seems to be true in any other app I try TT's with. So, I was hopeful that this would work better in 7.1 with XFree86 4.02 - HOWEVER THE SAME THING HAPPENS. This is very unfortunate, as it makes it difficult to use TT fonts if I want the pages to look decent.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Tim
