Re: XFonts?

[sgaerner <sgaerner@shadow.org>]

I had the same strange look when I used an ATI Rage 128 based graphicsadapter. When I
switched the hardware acceleration off, the fonts became "normal". In the file
/etc/X11/XF86Config there could be an entry like
    # "accel" off

I uncommented this line an X11 works normal.
