Re: Fuzzy Fonts in Mozilla

Bingo.   Thanks.    I think the problem is that you're using the fonts 
in Mozilla that are the ones that got shipped.   You say you've 
installed the MS TT fonts, but you may not have made them properly 
available.  I put all mine in /usr/share/fonts/TrueType and then ran 
"fc-cache -v" which told me about all the new fonts that I'd just 
added.   These are then visible in Mozilla (and all the other 
applications).    There's more information about this in the release 
notes (top level CD1, or /usr/share/docs/redhat-release-9).

I use Georgia (serif) and Verdana (sans serif) for Mozilla and they do 
look very nice.   The anti-aliasing gets it just right.   The default 
fonts did look very blurred to me when I first brought up RH9.   On my 
LCD screen(s) they have some horrible colour fringing which I think 
might simply be brought about by poor hints in the fonts, anyway, the MS 
fonts don't suffer from that.

I have them, but they don't help the display page in

They look ok in terminal, but fuzzy in Mozilla.

I'm just want to know if it is possible to have a
crisp, clear web page and if so, what do I need to do.

What's the problem?  Are you getting them and don't

want them?  Do you 
want anti-aliased fonts and don't want them?   Is

the anti-aliasing 
"coloured" and you're using an LCD screen?
