That's great, but Konqueror, Kmail, and Sylpheed (among > others) are still stuck in bitmap mode.
Two things: Mozilla has its own font handling (via FreeType) while QT (and thus KDE) and other X applications use the X font system. Depending on your setup, you'll have to make sure that X knows about the fonts. If you don't see the fonts with xfontsel, have a look at your /etc/XF86Config-4 and check if the font path is set correctly. If so, you might have to recreate the font index in the directory the TT fonts are installed. If X knows about the fonts but any QT based application fails to see them, edit the file ~/.qt/qtrc and set the variables useXft and enableXft to 'false'. This seems to be a bug in QT. -- Got Backup? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
