What fonts are you using? First, I copied all the default fonts on a Windows 2000 installation (had to ask a friend. He thought it was a pretty odd request, to say the least) to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType. Then, I created a makeshift XftConfig from various other XftConfigs available on the 'net. One problem I had: if the XftConfig is put into /etc/X11, it won't work for some weird, wild reason. I just stuck it in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ and it magically worked! Here's my XftConfig in case you care: http://www.jewcrew.org/~verbophobe/XftConfig Then, just go into that Gnome font selector thing, specify the "LuciduxSans" font, restart gnome-session, and you're set! > > > > > http://www.jewcrew.org/~verbophobe/gnome2-expo.png > > > > Apps, in no specific order: > > - XChat 1.9.1 (With Xft fonts!) -- I compiled this myself after some > > tweaking that I didn't diff.

A friend informed me that she's actually Alyson Hannigan from that TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." It's amazing that this (http://www.digitalreflections.org/~ao/candids/candid017.jpg) turns into this (http://www.alysonhannigancorner.com/alyson/fhm/fhm01-072.jpg). Incredible what a few Photoshop filters can do... > >Joe > > > > > Yours Truly, > > -Maxime > > _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
