How can I disable anti-aliasing of screen fonts in sarge?
I have a sarge system where I initially installed gnome. Apparently
some fonts were installed at that stage and seem to be the only ones
available even after I removed gnome, at least to some applications.
Now these fonts are apparently suitable for all occasions - you have
the usual serif, sans, mono,.. etc. but unfortunately they are
anti-aliased to the point of being unreadable.
I have poked around a bit and found something called fontconfig that
seems like a replacement for the old X font system (?) - not sure,
there is some technical doc available for fontconfig but I did not
find much that explains what it's really for.. Some applications like
mozilla seem to be fontconfig-aware while others are not.
Now my question is how can I disable this anti-aliasing? Do I need
to remove the fontconfig package? At this point I'm considering
reinstalling gnome, reconfiguring it w/o anti-aliasing and then
removing it unless s/o could come up w/ a more sensible solution.
