Jesse, I'm after the same problem for about two weeks nowAnother thing I noticed is that the fonts in Mozilla, my test application of choice, get uglier when I uncomment these two lines in XF86Config-4.
# FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" # FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
I've tried allowing xfs-xtt to serve up my TrueType and CID directories
as well, but I get the same result--uglier fonts in Mozilla. Is this just
and felt I had to answer just to tell you there are others that suffer in the same way.
I'm thru the truetype hazzle as you are - and regret that I've tried. (xfstt could stop Mozilla from responding)
What I would like to know - now - is, where does Mozilla 1.2.1 (and some other applications on debian/unstable with xfree86 4.2.1-6 and gnome 2.2) think it should get it's basic font from (not the html fonts), e.g. to display the menu bar or the email address.
You are not able to configure basic fonts in Mozilla - because Mozilla is a window on X (or sawfish? or gnome?). Agree.
But I changed fonts at any place I could think of - no change to Mozilla, (gnome control center is the least place I would recommend)
I tried several things.
Currently I'm investigating something called "fontconfig" - but not sure that I'm looking at the right place.
As a newbie it's a hazzle. No one likes to look at an ugly font - even if your are a linux evangelist.
But it' seems to be very hard to give a winning guideline for X (et.al.) to get you thru fonts.
I love to work in gterm - because I learned where to change the font.
