Sorry can't remember what the fonts were before, but certainly the default desktop fonts families are quite different with 8.0! :-) ISTR, anti-aliasing came in as the default with 7.3 - but was it the default? It certainly took me quite a while to get used to the default(?) of anti-aliasing with 8.0. You might try turning it off to see if that's the effect you are indeed seeing?
As a (rather long) aside: I know I also had problems with uneaven brightness of letters ACROSS my *LCD* screen driven by a GF2/MX200. It looked absolutely awful at first! I am actually dual booting the machine with WinME and the default scan rates inherited(?) from Windows were seemingly different to those SuSE required? The solution was to spend quite a *long* time fiddling with Sax2 (or specifially the command xfine2!) to optimise settings. I did reach some kind of sweet-spot which seemed to satisfy everything and it now looks just FINE. More luck than judgement? :-) I don't *seem* to remember having this problem with 7.2 which seemed closer to the optimum setting from outset... Dunno if this applies to CRTs though - if that's what you have?

Hi Chris, In my reading to fix a problem with getting TrueType fonts working corectly I came across details regarding LCD with AA. Basically you have to add match edit rgba = bgr; to the ~/.xftconfig file. If this file does't exist just create it and add the above line to it. Ref:- XFree86 Font De-uglification HOWTO Section 4.1.3.3 Item 8 but recommend reading all the items in the above section as it covers many fixes that can be done to make the better on the eyes. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/FDU/index.html Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
