Hello there, recently (yesterday) i checked the XFree86 sources out of CVS and built them with freetype (TrueType) support. All went well (i think) witht he build and install process. Adding the Load "freetype" to my modules section works too. However, i am unable to use an TT fonts. I've tried off loading all of the font rendering to the XFS server, i've tried specifying the font paths in the XF86Config file. I've done the required ttmkfdir and mkfontdir procedures. The _ONLY_ way i can get True Type fonts to work is if i use xfsttt. I'd rather just use xfs, and be done with it. performing an ldd on "X" and "xfs" does not show freetype anywhere... although neither does xfstt (but xfstt works).
I've installed RedHat 8.0 at work, it has BEAUTIFUL font rendering. I think there's some Anti Aliasing going on there. Anyway, they use XFS (that's the only font path specified anyway)... how can i achieve this on my slackware box? I want TTF, and Anti Aliasing... and i'd like to compile it myself if possible (I'll recompile gtk and qt if that is required as well). Anyway, thanks in advance for the help. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
