Indeed fontconfig is likely being used because your system is using Xft for fonts. If a different mechanism were in use for fonts, then that change would likely have had no effect. (I'm pretty sure Xft is the default on Debian, but am not 100% positive on that). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But I reconfigured it to 'false' and it worked, so you guessed well. This is definitely going down on my installation instructions doc.

some fonts in kde / iceweasel not anti-aliased - but not all
Got a wierd problem that I can't find any viable solution for in google. I set up a new machine with etch, running kde and iceweasel. Most of the main fonts are not anti-aliased in iceweasel. I downloaded firefox and tried that, same result. The funny thing is that I am running etch on another machine and I upgraded everything to the same level, but it's not affected. Does anyone else here know what the problem could be? Thanks Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
