One of the original NCD fonts had this problem, e.g.: XFontStruct *fontp; int w1, w2; ... w1 = fontp->per_char[ charnum].width; w2 = fontp->per_char[ charnum].lbearing + fontp->per_char[ charnum].rbearing; if( w1 != w2) printf( "This is a problem font!\n"); The problem only appears if you do the output a character at a time and take care of spacing yourself, instead of letting the Xlib XText functions deal with it. I had the problem on a terminal emulation program, where the text needed to be rendered fixed cell, in all cases, in order to line up properly, regardless of the font. So I used the "em" of the font, and rendered all characters manually, rather than using the XLib routine, which "did the right thing". What it looks like to me is that someone has made some assumptions about the font fields relationship to cell size, and these are not correct for the font in question. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

So the X server was running on your -CURRENT machine, but the application was running on your -STABLE machine? I think this is because on -STABLE, Mozilla compiles without the extra font stuff by default, doesn't it? THat was mentioned in an earlier message by someone else. Can you copy over the code as configured on -CURRENT to the -STABLE machine, so it compiles and links everything as if it were running on a -CURRENT machine? E.g. verify your implication that it's the compiler or the libraries specific to the -CURRENT machine, rather than a diffirence in the environment sensed by "configure", etc.? -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I logged in on my STABLE machine coming from the CURRENT machine (so any X app will use the fonts on the CURRENT machine) and ran mozilla. The display is *fine*.

If anyone is having problems with these fonts, try removing the Type1 module from your X config, and/or altering the fontpath so that directories with truetype fonts are listed first. I've been told that the directory order does matter, but I do not know how much this applies with the new font-config/Xft2 system. -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!

Okay, my -CURRENT machine is fine. As for the fonts, this is most likely due to the new Xft support. My fonts look pretty good. You might try installing the x11-fonts/webfonts port, then stick this file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, and see if things improve. Else, rebuild mozilla-devel with -DWITHOUT_XFT.
