From http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.2.1/Red_Hat_8x_RPMS/xft/README.txt: This is the first release of Mozilla that contains support for Xft. As such, it has bugs and doesn't contain several pieces of functionality that are available in the standard X11 core fonts build. Before you download this build you should be aware of what those problems are. They include, but are not limited to: o MathML support o Support for Symbol fonts o Support for non-iso10646 .pcf fonts o Support for font-hacks used for pre-1933 orthography Korean text > ~ QUES 2) Is the Xft build worth the risk (on an otherwise more-or-less > stock RH8)?~ > I think so, the rendering of AA fonts is very nice and reading text is a > pleasure. If you don't need MathML or the other few missing features, it does look very nice indeed. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@clemson.edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
