Thanks a lot for your help in advance! Have a nice weekend, Meino -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Check that you have xdpyinfo on your system. Firefox uses that to adjust fonts when it starts. After upgrading to xorg-x11 7.0 I noticed that fonts in Firefox where much ugliyer than they used to. I started it in a xterm and it complained about a missing xdpyinfo. So, I emerged xdpyinfo and re-started Firefox. Voila, my fonts are back. Hope it helps. P.S.: If you haven't read it already, the HOWTO Xorg and Fonts document is prety good. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts -- Louis Brazeau Informaticien -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

No new apps still use bitmap fonts (-75dpi and -100dpi). Probably the only ones worth having there are ttf-bitstream-vera and corefonts, maybe sharefonts/freefonts if you'll settle for lower quality.
