It is an unrealistic hypothesis. The kind of guy you described hardly uses mandrake, preferring debian or something like it. However, let us suppose it. IF someone is so mentally disturbed he wants to use a non antialiased font like helvetica, then he is a MINORITY, so HE should tweak fonts.conf. (Or better, he should go to the mandrake control center and find an options to reenable nonantialiased fonts). It simply cannot be the default: 99% user don't care about helvetica and do not know what it is. The needs of the many outweight the needs of the few (star trek :-) ). -- 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".
