You probably don't want to do that: most TrueType fonts (proportional or monospace) are designed with anti-aliasing in mind, and generally look absolutely horrible with it turned off. Many monospace TrueType fonts include a bitmap version that's used for specific font sizes when anti-aliasing is turned off because using the non-bitmap versions look so ugly. Probably the best solution to your problem is to try to find a traditional X11 bitmap font (I was always a fan of "fixed") and pray that gtk+ and Gedit support it. Google for Consolas, Inconsolata with Linux and you might find some hits for those; they're pretty popular with the kids these days (myself included; I use them with anti-aliasing on, and they've replaced my old diehard bitmap choice of Monaco 9 on the Mac for coding now). _______________________________________________ coders mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/coders
