Re: arphic ttf fonts under mozilla/netscape



Hi,
After trying out the xtt module intead of freetype, it now seems working.
Anyone care to explain to me the different between xtt and freetype modules?

Also, under mozilla, I cannot seem to resize the arphic font. I get very
thin/small font all the time which does not look really better than my normal
chinese font.

Regards,

Shao.
