Firefox don't reflect any changes I make in antialiasing settings. Everyone can make a little experiment. Close Firefox, go to Computer -> Control Center -> Appearance -> Fonts and set rendering type to "Monochrome" (GNOME). System immediately responds and change can be seen for example on the gnome panel. Now start Firefox and you will see, that it still use old settings (fonts are antialiased). In Ubuntu this behaves as expected, that means antiliasing is disabled in Firefox. This is just an example, I don't want to disable antialiasing in Firefox, I want to change the font rendering. But this experiment shows us, that Firefox ignores the system settings. I compared mozconfig in Ubuntu and OpenSUSE and there are few differences - in OpenSUSE Firefox is build static. Can be this the reason for this behaviour? I tried to rpmbuild static Firefox (removed lines 'ac_add_options --enable-static', 'ac_add_options --disable-shared' and added lines 'ac_add_options --enable-shared', 'ac_add_options --disable-static' in the spec file), but the compilation is failing:

I'm not as experienced to fix it. So my question is what to do to force Firefox to respect the system settings of antialiasing? I'm trying to solve this, because there are pages, where fonts look really ugly to me - for example http://www.abclinuxu.cz/images/screenshots/2/9/98392-nepublikovat--48272.png compare this with screenshot taken in Ubuntu (http://www.abclinuxu.cz/images/screenshots/2/9/98392-nepublikovat--48270.png). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
