Most fonts, except for pixel fonts and ttf-ms-fonts, don't work well without anti-aliasing - they will look dirty or crooked. ttf-ms-fonts are a special case because they actually include pixel versions for small font sizes. I'm one of those people who like pixel fonts - I think that pixels on modern monitors are still too big for anti-aliasing to work well. To me, anti-aliasing makes fonts too blurry. So I'm either using pixel fonts such as Dina or Terminus, or one of ttf-ms-fonts in my apps and have anti-aliasing turned off for small font sizes. But occasionally I come across a site that specifically uses, say, DejaVu Sans. Without anti-aliasing DejaVu Sans looks to me exactly like you described - dirty. Denis.

Out of curiosity: do you have font anti-aliasing turned off on your system? Do you use ttf-ms-fonts for GUI apps? Denis. ttf-ms-fonts is installed, but I normally don't use it. anti-aliasing was disabled, enabled to see what it does (:?) -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com
