Ugly fonts under Netscape 7 ! (But not in Netscape 6.23)
Hi ! I got a problem with the latest version fo Netscape (Mozilla as well) : The fonts seem to be ugly. That depend of some Websites, but as far as I know I did not have any problem with Netscape 6.23 I ran the fetchtomsttfonts so the font under Star Office is OK, but what can I do with Netscape 7 ? (I tried to put the font in the .Xressources without any result) Any hope would be greatly appreciated ! Arnaud
This is the section of my unix.js file for mozilla. It enables TT fonts in Mozilla. Works like a charm. After you modify this file and Moz restarts ..it will catalog ALL the TT fonts in the specified directory and make them available to you. #### // TrueType pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true); 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", "/u/sam/tt_font"); //pref("font.directory.truetype.2", "/u/sam/tt_font2"); //pref("font.directory.truetype.3", "/u/sam/tt_font3"); pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype"); #### The path to this file is.. /opt/mozilla/defaults/pref/ Good Luck * arnaud kubacki (edouard.kubacki@wanadoo.fr) [020830 08:19]: ::Hi ! :: ::I got a problem with the latest version fo Netscape (Mozilla as well) : ::The fonts seem to be ugly.

Thanks, That works a bit better. Now I can bear the fonts. It is not perfect but I will survie it ! ;-) PS : The antialiased fonts seem to be a bit blurred, though Ben Rosenberg wrote:
