Older Nvidia board (GeForce 7300 L= E) w/ Nvidia drivers that came with the RC3 DVD. Everything seems great except I can't get browsers (Firefox=2C Chromium=2C = or Epiphany) to respect the Gnome settings (under "Appearances") for font s= moothing/hinting (I prefer none/slight=2C to get that non-antialiased pixel= -aligned sharpness of=2C say=2C Windows 2000). And the desktop task bar do= esn't respect the Gnome settings for preferred font (I tried several MS fon= ts=2C but the task bar seems stuck on Sans). Other apps do respect the Gnome settings - the Nvidia control panel=2C for = example=2C renders the correct fonts the correct way=2C perfectly. So it i= s not a universal issue. Gnome 2.32 on Linux doesn't have these problems. (In Linux=2C to get Firefo= x to render properly=2C I do have to remove 3 files from the /etc/fonts/con= f.d folder - all three start with "10" - I am a BSD noob=2C so I looked for= that folder here and couldn't find it. However=2C Chrome doesn't need tho= se files removed in Linux=2C and it has the rendering issue in BSD that I a= m writing about=2C so I am not sure that's the issue here.) I love the fact you have brought Gnome 2.32 (and not 3.x) onto BSD. I do h= ope small things like this font issue get worked out - it would be enough t= o make me use Linux less and BSD much more. Let me know if you need more info from me. Happy New Year! Jon Mechling =
