------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-28 12:57 ------- the "choice" is not made by the distribution. it's made by the website. most mdksoft websites have "helvetica" as the first-choice font, a font that on most *nix systems is a rather crappy-looking non-TTF font. there's nothing to "fix" in the distribution, the fix needs to be on the websites. this has been discussed at length on the Cooker list, where the conclusion seemed to be "ask the website guy to fix it, and he won't do it". -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: No matter what browser I use, and what fonts I use in the kde/gnome control center, when I go to some sites I always get nonantialiased, jagged fonts. For example the mandrake club. This is very ugly: just look at the italic fonts. Also non italic fonts are not ok: small fonts do look well, but medium and large fonts don't. I would like an option in the mandrake control center to say "always use antialiased fonts for WEB-BROWSING". (On the other hand, I still want to use the default font in konsole, which is not antialiasing). Debian's fontconfig prompts you with that question. Better yet would be: "always use antialiased fonts if the font size is over XXX".
