But certainly Xmms is the worst of the bunch.This could also be a problem with your settings for font display rather than with the fonts themselves. I do not use XMMS, so here is a demonstration of the influence of font settings on iceweasel (PNG image, 55.6 KB): http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer/fontconfig/iceweasel-font-comparison.png Maybe you can post your font settings and we can have a look: awk '/fontconfig/,/^$/' /var/cache/debconf/config.dat xrdb -query | grep Xft
FlorianThanks for the image - a picture is worth ... and all that jazz. Certainly, my font display is more like the image on the left.
