So edit /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (or ~/.fonts.conf) directly. This is assuming your fonts are rendered through fontconfig+Xft. If fonts.conf doesn't seem to change the fonts in question, you might have to describe which particular fonts/programs are affected. -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] Font & Antialiasing problems
I don't have have gnome installed either, just WindowMaker. So I guess gnome-font-properties is not really an option. But thanks anyway. Regards, M.

Yes, definitely the native res. Everything else is sharp as, it's just the fonts which give me trouble.

[SLUG] Font & Antialiasing problems
Hello everybody. I'm running debian sarge on a PC with a LCD screen. The problem I'm having is that all my fonts look slightly out of focus. I suspect this is due to misadjusted antialiasing. I've googled and came up with mostly antiquated howto's on making X look better. I've tried to tweak XF86config-4 and .fonts.conf but without success. I don't use gnome or kde, I just have a windowmaker desktop. I mostly use the mozilla apps and Openoffice. I'd be grateful for any pointer on how to get the fonts focused (else I'll go blind, I fear...). Thanks in advance!
