There are a lot of "fix" for this issue in www.mandrakeforum.com and
www.mandrakeuser.org, but none of this works for me, including the commented
by civileme in "RE:[expert] Font Wierdness in Mandrake 8.0"
After try and try, I seen the problem was in:
- abiword fonts
- default Type1 fonts.
It's my fix (and it REALLY WORKS in my PC):
(as root)
- Uninstall abisuite.
- Edit /etc/X11/fs/config
- Change this line:
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1,
for this:
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1:unscaled,
And because you are here, you can put the 100dpi fonts path before the 75dpi.
But sincerely, I don't know the origin of the problem (I'm not an expert :)
Perhaps this is because I have an ATI Xpert XL... (?)
I hope this helps you.
Salu2!
Óscar.
ps. excuse my bad english... :P
ps2. Installing windows fonts helps too (please, first update drakfont)
