Things you can explore: - Check /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. I recall that the default fonts.conf remaps TT fonts to the crappy ones shipped with Red Hat. (I wish there was better documentation and a front-end for fontconfig). - Turn off antialiasing. Not all people like it, especially at smaller point sizes. Again, see fontconfig. KDE has a module in its control panel to manage antialiasing, but that does nothing for Mozilla. Or you could try KDE/Konqueror, since KDE defaults to no antialiasing. - Rebuild freetype RPM. Red Hat ships freetype with bytecode interpretation disabled, making the screen-optimized Microsoft fonts look about as bad as anything else. But they make it easy to reenable TT hinting. Get the source RPM, change one line in the spec file, and rebuild. (I wonder if there is a way to make Mozilla use the "legacy" font system, i.e. xfs. The fonts will be un-antialiased, but the MS fonts will be well-hinted. One oddity about Red Hat's legal precautions is that they shipped freetype with bytecode interpretation disabled but xfs with bytecode interpretation enabled.) Chris
