[expert] Font Wierdness in Mandrake 8.0
Hi! I installed the Mandrake inst.iso CD image yesterday as an experiment and was pleasantly surprised with the install and the supermount feature working flawlessly. I have a major problem however with the fonts that I see when I use the Advanced Editor or The Text Editor under KDE 2.1.1. The fonts are such that I CANNOT see the letters clearly. Something is very wrong with them, they are fuzzy and indistinct. Interestingly other applications like kword have no problem and have distinct and clear fonts. It is only with advanced editor and text editor that this seems to occur. Am I missing some fonts because I did not install the packages from Mandrake ext.iso or is it a bug?? I would like to change from SuSE to Mandrake 8.0, but without this fuzzy fonts in advanced editor and text editor. Any suggestions or help would be great. I am using: Intel 810 mainboard Celeron 433 processor 128 MB RAM 8.3 GB Hard Disk I repeat again that I have not installed anything from inst.iso as I was unable to download that, if this problem has a solution, it would be great. Thanks, Arnab
