X-BeenThere: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Non technical items related to the community List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2006 02:26:32 -0000 A few days ago I noticed that the Russian Wikipedia had actually become readable in Firefox (well, if I knew the language). Same for the other editions in languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet. By readable I mean that the font choice has been _vastly_ improved. It went from a very square, painful serif font to a nice, very readable sansserif. My setup is a bit unusual. I run Firefox 1.5 on OpenBSD/amd64 remotely on a FreeBSD 5.5/alpha X11 display. Stock defaults, nothing beyond FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/" to support Cyrillic. I wonder what changed. * There were no significant changes at the Firefox/OpenBSD end. * Lately I rebuilt various xorg-* ports on the FreeBSD display. * Or maybe Wikipedia changed their stylesheets. Anybody else notice this change? -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
