Attached is a mail I sent to the author of "XFree86 Font De-uglification" (http://ldp.kernelnotes.de/HOWTO/mini/FDU/index.html), but have yet to receive a reply. A pertinent-to-this-group comment: I built Mozilla 1.1 from the ports, but the XFree86 package is from XFree86's own binary distribution for FreeBSD. I therefore hacked mozilla's port Makefile to use the XFree86- supplied libfreetype.so.8 instead of installing libfreetype.so.9; I don't want to "clutter" /usr/local with stuff that 1) seems un-necessary and 2) should be in /usr/X11R6 anyway ;-, Can anyone here help in lieu of the webpage author's absence? Thanks, Dave -- ______________________ ______________________ \__________________ \ D. J.
