Either way, it makes the on-screen fonts look terrific, it would be nice to be able to incorporate this into FreeBSD/XFree86 somehow (goodness knows Enlightenment is pretty enough already), at least it would help make those Java dialogs look a little less "blah". - Michael Imamura Ucod Data Systems http://ucod.home.ml.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
