Thank U Holly, I've a few questions then: 1) what do u mean with *real* fonts? I've this fonts under /usr/share/fonts ...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/share/fonts $ ls 100dpi TTF corefonts freefont misc ttf-bitstream-vera 75dpi Type1 default lfp-fix ms-truetype unifont CID afms encodings lfpfonts-var sharefonts util Speedo artwiz fonts.cache-1 local terminus 2) I'm emerging gtk-chtheme, does this work better than kcontrol - fonts section? 3) I like artwiz-fonts but apart from that I'm using them because they are the only fonts which seem good renderered to me, the point about firefox that seems strange to me is that even the menu' and toolbars fonts (which are not configurable) are bad-rendered, maybe it's really a problem of gtk configuration... Thank you for your help.
