[newbie] TT fonts in Konqueror -- Failure?
Dear friends: Am I missing something or is it not the case that the same True Type fonts that look (and print) so beautifully in Netscape 4.x and Mozilla (I have a dual-boot LM 8.0/Win98) fail in Konqueror? I have tried every trick in the book (increasing the size of all the Konqueror browser fonts to Large and Huge) and still the results are very disappointing (using the N.Y. Times home page as a yardstick for comparison) compared to Netscape/Mozilla, where they are in every sense equal to the True Type fonts in Windows. By the way, the same goes for Kword's use of True Type fonts. If you increase the zoom size to 130%, Kword will render the True Type fonts with great beauty and elegance, and the printing will be just as fabulous. Why is it, may I ask, that some applications in Linux use the True Type fonts and some don't? And why is that Kword makes the TT fonts look so good, while Konqueror, from my experience, fails at this key function? I hope a Konqueror developer is listening. If I am wrong, I would like to be corrected. If I am right, I hope this problem is resolved soon. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [newbie] TT fonts in Konqueror -- Failure?
I have been dissappointed in netscape and konqueror with the displayed fonts. Some of them are absolutely horrible to try to read. I can change the encoding to something to improve it sometimes, but it will never stay set there. I'm puzzled as to why this is such a problem compared to windoze. The problem also occurs in Staroffice's browser. This was also a problem for me in previous versions, running MD 8.0 now Tazmun Dear friends: Am I missing something or is it not the case that the same True Type fonts that look (and print) so beautifully in Netscape 4.x and Mozilla (I have a dual-boot LM 8.0/Win98) fail in Konqueror?

[newbie] TT Fonts
I've got Mandrake 6.0 but despite a lot of trying, I still can't see my True Type fonts. I've followed all the suggestions on the FAQ page, all the hints at www.linuxnewbie.org and still nothing. Sigh. There has GOT to be a simple way of linking the Font server to the ttfonts directory. Any suggestions? Frank Hilliard http://hilliard.tzo.com

At www.mandrakeuser.org you will find a link to the Font Deuglification FAQ. It can help you out with True Type fonts.
