Is there a way to have one's font > cake and eat it too? You have to tell XFree86 which fonts to substitute for the (non-truetype) Helvetica etc. fonts. This is done in XftConfig. You can e.g. set --------------------------------------------------------------------------- match any family == "fixed" edit family =+ "mono"; #Use Lucidux fonts for default faces match any family == "serif" edit family += "LuciduxSerif"; match any family == "sans" edit family += "LuciduxSans"; match any family == "mono" edit family += "LuciduxMono"; #Alias between XLFD families and font file family name, prefer local #fonts match any family == "charter" edit family += "bitstream charter"; match any family == "bitstream charter" edit family =+ "charter"; match any family == "Lucidux Serif" edit family += "LuciduxSerif"; match any family == "LuciduxSerif" edit family =+ "Lucidux Serif"; match any family == "Lucidux Sans" edit family += "LuciduxSans"; match any family == "LuciduxSans" edit family =+ "Lucidux Sans"; match any family == "Lucidux Mono" edit family += "LuciduxMono"; match any family == "LuciduxMono" edit family =+ "Lucidux Mono"; --------------------------------------------------------------------------- something like this in your /etc/X11/XftConfig. I have set my default font to Verdana (even without antialiasing ;) so I don't have that problem any more. ;) -- Jens Benecke ········ http://www.hitchhikers.de/ - Europas Mitfahrzentrale Crypto regulations will only hinder criminals who obey the law.
