Antialiasing??? I didn't think that the XFree86 antialiasing worked in Swing apps. Did you have to do anything special? I understand that Swing implements all font rendering in Java to achieve visual consistency, so the XFree renderer wouldn't be used. I run Red Hat 7.2, and have installed TrueType fonts, which makes it look *much* better (Verdana is the best thing to ever come out of Microsoft). It is as easy as this: INSTALLING TRUETYPE FONTS ON LINUX 1. Put your TTF font files in /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType (the Red Hat standard location) or wherever you keep them 2. cd to the directory where you just put the fonts 3. ttmkfdir >fonts.scale 4. mkfontdir 5. Restart XFS (the X font server): /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart 6. Restart X. For more info, see http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/TT-XFree86-2.html Cheers, Colin -- Colin D.
