It seems that something thinks my display device is an > LCD panel, when actually it's a CRT. Check the file .fonts.conf in your home directory. This is the stanza to turn off RGB antialiasing: <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const>none</const> </edit> </match> You also have to check if this setting has actually been taken over into the X server resource database (restarting X or a new log in with [xkg]dm is necessary after you change .fonts.conf): $ xrdb -query | grep Xft Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: none If you use KDE or if you have the font problem with Qt applications then you also should check this setting: $ grep Xft ~/.qt/qtrc enableXft=true useXft=true Finally, if all else fails you can try different options for fontconfig by running (as root) dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
