Good reference, but keep in mind gentoo-wiki is not official Gentoo documentation. That's usually stuff from the community, which is excellent. Most all developers will only document stuff on gentoo.org, and commit it via cvs. Rarely will Gentoo developers contribute to the gentoo-wiki, or any documentation source outside of gentoo.org. Still useful and good documentation, just keep in mind it's not an official source. So if things are outdated, break, etc. Like most things with regard to Gentoo, its all you :) > Still working on my Gentoo build, and ran across this article to > improve the look and feel of the fonts.

Most of that stuff really doesn't apply to Gentoo. Short of package names and stuff. Though some of the xorg font path stuff really does not apply. Paths for xorg are compiled in as of like 1.4, so anything >= 1.4 barely even needs a config file. Much less the paths for fonts, etc in there. That stuff seems a bit legacy to me. But I have had good looking fonts for days. I guess you didn't noticed during the presentation. Also I am pretty sure I have posted here before on dialing in fonts. Mostly DPI stuff which is still a PITA and some what a black art ;) -- William L.
