Is it just me, or do the fonts in FC4/development look crappy (compared to FC3 in particular)? Particularly in kconsole (default) and as I type now in thunderbird (default I think - "monospace").

If its TrueType fonts you're talking about, you
need to re-enable the freetype bytecode interpreter,
which we can't ship enabled because of patent issues.

Download and install the freetype-2.1.9-2.src.rpm .

Edit the first line of /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/freetype.spec to say:

%define without_bytecode_interpreter 0

then # rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/freetype.spec

Thanks for the info, but I'm not sure it applies since I presume FC3 shipped this way and I'm okay with FC3. Looks like I've changed my mozilla fonts on FC3 so perhaps I need to pick new fonts there. But my FC3 konsole font is "Monospace" which looks to be the default there. Perhaps the default changed.
