Wow, those fonts look bad :) > You are comparing apples and oranges. xterm in your configuration seems > to be using a bitmap font via X core font protocol.

The problem seems a lot more confined to Xft, and it seems like only Freetype itself could cause so many problems. Have you tried rebuilding freetype? Another thought is that perhaps Fontconfig isn't doing the right thing like Alexander says. You could try installing the BitstreamVera fonts. >From your screenshot, I can tell that you're using the DejaVu fonts, but maybe fontconfig is telling freetype to do something bad with them. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
