Hmm... I'm only just now starting to have a problem with Mozilla and Fonts. I have a super huge font collection (600+ TTF) which I use on each computer with XFree on it. I just now emerged mozilla 1.3_beta and the darned thing crashes with the font folder :(... The weird thing is the font directory works just fine with Phoenix and any version of Mozilla prior to 1.3_beta, and I cant log on with Mozilla to file a bug report, heh. I've been having to rename my font directory into truetype, and renaming the original truetype directory to get prior mozilla's to recognize all my fonts, and now thats crashing on me :( I guess mozilla is gonna be "out da dow" and I shall have to work with phoenix for the mean time, or just re-emerge an older version of mozilla... pisses me off cuz it takes so frikkin long to build. Other than that, my mozilla has always looked super fantabulous with the font package I have :> Gotta love them commercial fonts! > Basically, a line of text will have a single line of pixels missing, > and will be squashed up, (horizontally), by 1 pixel.
