Can anyone think of any really really good reason for even allowing scaled bitmap fonts still?
They are horrendously ugly, and users report this as bugs very frequently, which after troubleshooting turns out they had something like: foo/bar/75dpi in their fontpath instead of: foo/bar/75dpi:unscaled IMHO, scaled bitmap font support should either be disabled, or should default to being unscaled, and if someone wants scaled bitmap fonts they should have to put 75dpi:scaled in the fontpath. That would ensure that users that want scaled bitmap fonts for whatever ungodly reason, still can do so, however normal modern desktops aren't plagued with horrendous looking fonts. I'm considering patching xfs/Xserver/whatever to disable scaled bitmap fonts, or to perhaps implement the :scaled thing above. Comments? -- Mike A.
