Lowe Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 (edited) *sigh* more font problems, when the hell will this end, it's a nightmare. Anyway most of my apps fonts seem to be fine, firefox, mplayer all fine, but programs like xmms and the gimp have this horrible font. Have a look at the screen shot and maybe you could help me again.

adamw Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 well, the font *ought* to look that ugly, as that's a GTK 1.2 app, and GTK 1.2 apps don't support anti-aliased fonts. You're probably using the GIMP 1.2 as well, that's the GTK 1.2 version, if you want nice fonts (and nicer everything else), switch to 2.0, which you should find either in main or contrib depending on the MDK version you're using. If you're on quite an old version you may find GIMP 1.3 in contrib (1.3 was the development series for 2.0). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 oh, for a nicer-looking media player, try beep-media-player (which is pretty much a GTK 2 port of xmms, so it'll look exactly like xmms but with nice gtk2 fonts and widgets), or maybe something like totem.

Lowe Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Thanks for the suggestion adam.:D I upgraded Gimp to 2.0 and downloaded BMP and it's a lot nicer looking and more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
