Most of the comments I hear from new users about the font quality in RHL 8.0 is very positive praise. Very few complaints at all. However, since we realize different people have different preferences, we do make things configurable. And since you must have one default setting, we do have one. It is not possible to have a single default setting please everyone. And by changing the default to the opposite of what it is, we would just get complaints from group B. So, feel free to customize the settings until they match your preference. That's about all I can suggest. The font technology present in Red Hat Linux 8.0, is mostly developed by the Freetype project, XFree86 Project (Keith Packard), and also Owen Taylor. You've provided Owen and myself with some feedback, however you may also want to provide feedback to the other projects also. This technology will improve over time, and user comments are definitely useful and appreciated, both good and bad. >OT> To tweak stuff not running under GNOME, you want to edit >OT> /etc/X11/Xresources. > >Thanks, I've been looking for days but I never would have thought to >look there.

It is a stock standard X11 config file that has been around for ages. The per user file is ~/.Xresources Hope this helps, TTYL -- Mike A.
