All,,, Sorry for the last one being incomplete... never sneeze with your Hands on the mouse button... weird things happen...*cringe*
Ok, The following is on my box. For freetype I've installed freetype-1.3.1-17mdk freetype-tools-1.3.1-17mdk freetype2-2.1.3-2mdk The last one is from cooker the freetype2 in 9.0 is seriously out of date. (actually older than the one in 8.2!) then I went to http://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/rpms/ And grabed some stuff from Texstar (despite the complaints he does do some nice stuff.) http://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/rpms/ Xft-2.1-3tex (works with freetype2 better) fontconfig-2.1-2tex (Makes Xft fonts work cleaner) msttcorefonts-bootstrap-0.1-3mdk.noarch.rpm The last one brings in and properly installs all those nice M$ ttf fonts. I'm also using his version of mozilla-xft but frankly after installing the above I really haven't noticed an improvement. The final step is to go through your settings and make sure you are using either Xft fonts, or TTF fonts. Luxi fonts work really well for me. The M$ fonts also look really nice. I've also had luck installing free TTF fonts intended for M$ boxes. James PS grab keuphoria while you are on texstars site... one of the most beautiful screensavers I've seen in a long time.
