You don't say which version of XFree you are using. Version 4 needs the xfs v. 4 font server. None of the other font servers work. If you're version 3, any of the font servers work. --- Pietro Cagnoni [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So I commented out the first two FontPath lines and KDE started

If you want TrueType fonts in Netscape and use XFree86 v. 4, you must use the v.4 xfs font server. Netscape uses the fonts.alias file which then uses the xfs font server, it does not use the v. 4 built-in fonts. Is your xfs daemon running? (xfsd?) Are your TrueType font paths listed first in

Getting better fonts in Debian is not simple. Each application gets their fonts their own way. Start with the howto on font deuglification. It makes a difference if you have XFree version 3 or 4. If you want Netscape to have readable fonts (like TrueType) you must use a font server and

Re: Font corruption under XF86 4.0

2001-01-29 Thread Rick Loga
Are you using the xfs-xtt font server or the xfs font server? You refer to both. AFAIK only the xfs font server works with version 4 and to use it you do need unix/:7100 in the front of the font paths. X starts with the first line and if it doesn't work, it tries the next line, etc. ---
