------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-28 13:22 ------- A site is flawed if it uses helvetica? Please consider: 1) Redhat 9 and debian sid don't have that problem. (They tweak fonts.conf). 2) IMHO, the flaw is in mandrake's fontconfig, where "helvetica" is mapped to a nonantialiased fonts. Come on, you CAN set up fontconfig in order to have helvetica point at something else. It is called font aliasing, I think. -- 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".
