Please don't do this - it is a workaround. Xft fonts are beautiful by default, but something went wrong on your system. You may also want to start from scratch, using LFS-6.3 and BLFS SVN, because they contain a lot of fixes as compared to the 6.2 release. > I really just don't know why these fonts are > being so stubborn, but like I said, I'll probably kick myself when I > figure it out. You may also want to download LFS LiveCD and examine and/or copy the setup from it. It relies solely on Xft, and has no bitmap fonts (even though this requires a one-line xorg-7.2 patch - but xorg-7.3 has a configure option for this). -- Alexander E.
