O.K. so I guess this is still an issue. I have been reading about fonts in Linux from several web sites, but still need help with this.
Mandrake 9.1 -KDE (3.1) running in the 1024x768 @60 Hz with 24bpd graphics mode. I have downloaded and installed all the updates for this system. Athlon 1Ghz 512 MB RAM Over 200GB of disk storage over several IDE disks. ATI Radeon 7000 video card. (XFree86 4.3 with 3D Hardware Acceleration) Princeton 18.2 LCD monitor. For now I am going to run in the 800x600 video mode, but would perfer a different solution. I connected into the above system from my Laptop running Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and copied all the fonts from the system folder over. I then ran the Mandrake font installer from the control panel. It did successfully install the fonts, but it did not fix my problem. In most applications the fonts look jagged and thin. One can play around and find fonts that look better than the defaults in about 60% of the applications. In a couple apps I have not been able to find a way to fix the problem at all. So why can't we have Mac like rendering of our fonts? Where does the problem hide? Do people who buy their xwindows systems have this problem? Is this an Linux issue or an XFree86 issue? Rafe
