| | | Anyone know how to make Netscape Navigator display the font sizes correctly under Red Hat Linux 6.1 + Gnome? What looks great under Windoze 95 comes out looking like scrap under my installation of RHL... :-( Here are a couple screenshots: (URL) the (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| | | | | (...) Yes, this is true. Or some more Type 1 fonts. (...) The problem is that there's very few scalable fonts installed. So it's making do with bitmapped ones, which it can't actually scale. Sometimes it pretends to scale bitmapped fonts, but that (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| | | | | | (...) Do you have any URLs/pointers/tips/Howto's on this? I didn't see anything in the RHL docs or online. Maybe I'm not looking for the right thing. Any magic keywords? :) I did find a Mini-Howto on TrueType with XFree86[1] but it seems to be a bit (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I was just digging through looking for something else today, and ran across (URL) which implies that it's a no-go, but if you've found something that says yes then more power to ya - just let us know how! :- (...) my 6.0/6.1 hybrid (6.0 (...)

But it seems to apply to xfstt and doesn't say anything specific about xfs (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Things seem to be working okie-dokie for me in Netscape Navigator except for one big thing: It insists on always rendering (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| | | | | | (...) No, it's broken that way. If you change the font size to bigger manually, it goes and changes it back. I wonder though about the advice in the howto -- you can probably change what 12pt _is_. (...) I'd recommend getting a daily build (or the (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Maybe it won't have the same bogus memory consumption...we'll see. But it looks like 4.7 has the same problem with (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
