Did you enable the freetype extension in XF86Config? I'm running slack 8.1+, 9.0 and 9.1 without problems with TTF fonts. The only things I noticed where: 1) KDE still sux ( since the beginning ) with fonts problems; and 2) The GIMP doesn't work with those fonts. That's the most sad of the problems. About KDE, I'm running WMaker and XFCE. They do an extreme better job than kde/gnome does. Also OpenOffice 1.1.0rc4 works pretty well with those fonts. Cheers, -=[ William N.

How do I get truetype-fonts to look exactly as good as they do in MS Windows? I've read many guides, tried many different "solution" but TT-fonts always look bad in some way or another. > > Let's say I have just installed linux (slackware 9.1), the latest XFree86 and fontconfig 2.2.0 (all clean installs) and haven't configured anything or done anything else with my linuxbox. Where do I go from here? Tthe fonts look scaly and weird from start and websites don't look as good as they do in Windows. I just want the fonts to look "right". > > Can anyone explain to me how to do this? _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
