        Mozilla (was: Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer) —Todd Lehman
     (...) I can't get TrueType fonts to display correctly in Mozilla (a build from two nights ago). Do they work for you? I'm specifying 'times new roman' and 'courier new' and 'arial' for the three fonts (serif, monospace, and sans- serif, (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: Mozilla (was: Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer) —Dan Boger
      (...) as far as I can tell, mozilla has no problems showing any kind of fonts - though I never bothered to install to many. What X server are you using? As a rule, font problems are related to xfs, and not to the application... (...) nope, no tricks (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
     
          Re: Mozilla (was: Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer) —Todd Lehman
      (...) I'm using the xfs that came with RHL 6.1... If I fire up xfontsel and look at arial, for example, and set the pxlsz to a variety of numbers, they all look correct and beautifully hinted. I can recognize individual character glyphs as being (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

   (...) Yeah, it does. And port-forwarding and other advanced features too. It's definitely the best ssh client available for ms windows. (Too bad NetTerm doesn't do SSH - it has such nice fonts....) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer —Jeremy H. Sproat
   (...) I'm using MindTerm, a GPL'd Java implementation of ssh: (URL) it doesn't seem to support sftp, it does talk scp (not sure how much better sftp is, though) and a buncha other features including port forwarding.
