Hello,
I recently installed Xfree 4.2.x on my redhat linux system. I needed
to upgrade because I purchased an Nvidia GeForce4 MX card, and the
version of Xfree shipped with RH 8.0 doesn't support that card.
I downloaded binary packages from the Xfree site, and the installation
went very well. Eventually I moved to the nvidia driver, but I am still
very pleased with X.
The only problem I'm having is with the fonts in word processors. For
some reason the lettering has really big spaces between each character.
Generally the space between each letter is 2x the size of the letter
itself. I've seen this behavior in Abiword, OpenOffice Writer, and
Ghostscript.
I don't really know where to start on this. All the application and
console fonts look great, but anything that deals with page layout draws
a really strangely shaped page with all the lettering bent out of
shape. Has anyone else run into this?
