There is this new truetype font Bitstream Vera, which looks very nice IMHO.
IMHO too -- thanks for the pointer, much appreciated. :^)

Is it possible to use it in Dillo?
Yes, I'm using it now.
I tried to add this in the dillorc vw_fontname="Bitstream Vera Sans"
vw_fontname="bitstream vera sans" The name should match the output from xlsfonts(1). I'm not sure if it's case-sensitive, but I can confirm that the line above, lower-case, works for me. Run: xlsfonts | fgrep -i vera | less If that doesn't show anything, you haven't yet got your X server able to see the fonts. If you're using xfstt, be sure to run "xfstt --sync" after installation. If you can't see the fontname in the output of xlsfonts, then it's not a Dillo issue and you'll need to chase down the problem elsewhere; package installer, xfstt settings, "xset q" output (the "fp" stuff for fontpath), and various other things. If you can see the fontname in xlsfonts and it doesn't work for you in Dillo, then pass; I'm using Dillo 0.7.2-pre from some time in the past three weeks or so and can supply library linkage on request, if it'll help track the problem down.
