  Re: Why are my fonts broken?
 
(...) 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 (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why are my fonts broken?
 
(...) hmm. 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 (...)

  Re: Why are my fonts broken?
 
(...) Check out: <URL:(URL). It's Nov '99, so pretty recent. It's actually got particular advice about Netscape, which I hadn't known and am now going to go experiment with. But it seems to apply to xfstt and doesn't say anything specific about xfs (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Ahh, many thanks. Things are much improved now. Not perfect yet, but no longer incredibly painful to try to read. (...) Things seem to be working okie-dokie for me in Netscape Navigator except for one big thing: It insists on always rendering (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why are my fonts broken?
 
(...) 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 (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why are my fonts broken?
 
(...) BTW, are you running 4.6x or 4.7x? I'm seeing the problem in 4.61. Have 4.7 downloaded but am hesitant to install it so quickly. --Todd (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why are my fonts broken?
 
(...) Aw, never mind. 4.7 was a snap to install. Didn't even blow anything up. :) Seems to run a bit faster than 4.61, that's good. Maybe it won't have the same bogus memory consumption...we'll see. But it looks like 4.7 has the same problem with (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
