Guest mkbiyer Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Isn't that installed by default for Mandrake 9.1 ? freetype2-2.1.3-12mdk :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted July 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 It hasn't been installed by default for me. Though i didn't install KDE either. But it made a helluva difference. There are nice fonts in all my GTK2 apps. The fonts in Mozilla 1.4 used to look horrible. Now they are brilliant, nice and clean.

derxen Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 So James, are you saying that if you use the ordinary freetype2 packages instead of the bytecode enabled ones from texstar or plf, all your fonts look better? I've had trouble with the fonts in Mozilla-1.4 too. The mozilla you download from mozilla-org displays some fonts anti-aliased, and not others. The one from texstar does all fonts anti-aliased, but they look terrible: too thick and the italic fonts 'dance'. With older versions of mozilla you could play around with the unix.js file in pref and change the truetype and freetype settings, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. Does anyone know what's up with that? derxen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
