So far I have installed base, portsnapped fetched extracted, made Xorg meta port and fluxbox. Ive added webfonts and artwiz fonts. Ive hand rolled fonts.conf and followed the handbook on xfonts. Fonts still dont look too great though? In fact sometimes its hard to tell the difference between one font and another. I am using conky and conky reports the Xft isnt enabled so I got to wondering if this is part of my problem? If so, how do I go about enabling it? Thanks in advance for any advice etc. Btw I have discovered 'links -driver x' which is great, also mp3blaster, mc, mutt - is there any other console apps I really should know about :)
