Yes, it was most probably a core X font... Probably Helvetica as I use it everywhere else (including in Firefox)... I even had to modify Mandriva's font configuration in /etc/fonts so that it won't prevent me to use the X fonts (it was forcing the use of antialiased fonts): the antialiased fonts are simply much less well rendered (they look blurry while X core fonts look perfectly crisp and are much prettier and easier to read !) than the bitmap fonts, and just like UTF-8, I hate the antialiased fonts (who needs anti-aliasing for UI fonts anyway, given you only use one font size in the UI ?... This will always puzzle me !): they are a waste of processing power and bring nothing. In fact, I won't mind seeing Pango support dropped from sawfish in favour of the X-core fonts... ;-P Regards, Thierry.
