  mfk> first, i translate to Type-1, got to stay native, you know:

There's nothing non-native about TrueType as a format... ?  At least,
not moreso than other formats.

All the TrueType capabilities in both the xfs and builtin solutions are
free software, developed "natively" on Linux (most of them).

And I don't see how turning Microsoft TrueType fonts into Type-1 makes
them any more native than leaving them TrueType.  It just makes them
look worse :(.

But, whatever, it's your monitor :).
