Dynamic fonts with Netscape and fonts in general
Hi folks
Has anybody an idea how to convince Netscape (I use the newest package
from the frozen tree - communicator-smotiv-472) to display TrueDoc
fonts.
The Netscape splash-screen tells me that the TrueDoc plugin was in the
package but Netscape doesn't show it when I call up the FontDisplayers
dialog.
I know this problem has already been reported to the debian buglist, but
obviously the maintainer hasn't taken care so far.
Netscape/TrueDoc write something about Netscape not finding a special
library in their FAQ, so I've taken a look at the different directories
the
package sets up. Hell what a mess! I'm sure there's some kind of
strategy
behind it all, but it remains hidden to me.
I also once tried to "find" the library, but it seems that the debian
package
doesn't even install it.
Has anybody also had that problem?

By the way... is there any way to tell X to do font antialiasing? Or ist
there a generic
font server that all applications can use. Afaik every major application
takes a different
approach (Netscape/StarOffice/Applix)...
