Thus spaketh higuita:
check with xfontsel what font do you really have for normal X programs, as gtk2 programs should be using a new way of generating fonts (XFT) and probably most of your truetype fonts arent really in the old X11 font interface
try chossing a font listed in the xfontsel that looks good and its scalable... if you have bitstream vera, use it
Switched vw_fontname to "-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-c-0-iso8859-1" which looks somewhat better, but still not as good as the originals: http://devidal.tv/~chris/mine_versus_dillo.org.gif
You may not see much difference but believe me my eyes hurt looking at my dillo. You really see the difference in the two green topic title bars; the dillo.org screenshot has very smooth fonts. Mine is all jaggedy.
Tried the same version of dillo on my wife's PC, also Debian Sid, same kernel version, but running KDE 3.3 not XFCE. Looks beatiful, just like the screenshot.
Something isn't right. I thought I set her machine up with the same fonts...
Ideas anyone?
Hi. It should be working. This is a problem with your machine's installed fonts, not with Dillo. Dillo doesn't do True Type at this time, so there's no point installing this type of fonts. I'm not a Debian user, but most probably you left out a set of "legacy" fonts that Dillo requires. Maybe the fastest solution is to check the font-specific .debs of your wife's cpmputer against yours, once this is done update the font cache, restart X and retry. A more accurate way of solving it is to ask a long time Debian user what the packages for "legacy" (not antialiased) fonts are and how to install them. Please let us know when it starts working for you. HTH. -- Cheers Jorge.-
