Is this a new BLFS install? Make sure Firefox isn't using bitmapped fonts. In /etc/fonts there are 2 directories - conf.avail and conf.d. Symlink or copy "70-no-bitmaps.conf" from conf.avail to conf.d. All the files in conf.d get run when fontconfig resets. Along with the default ".conf" files, I've also added "10-autohint.conf" and "10-no sub-pixel.conf" (with an LCD monitor you probably WANT sub-pixel rendering). Also I think Firefox uses the .gtkrc-2.0 file from your home directory. Mine has a line: gtk-font-name = "Arial 11" Make sure your system has "Arial" if you use this line, or chose a truetype font that you already have. If you have used default locations, installing fonts system-wide is as simple as adding the font file to /usr/share/fonts, and running "fc-cache -f -v" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
