This is what I've tried so far, none of which has improved anything: -according to the README.fonts file that comes with Magicpoint, if you have libttf.a somewhere on your system (I do in /usr/local/lib), it should auto-magically look nice (it doesn't) -I'm trying to sort through the Using Fonts in XFree86 section of the handbook and my lack of understanding of fonts is not helping me. I've followed the instructions for building and "xsetting" both UCW and freefont, but my magicpoint slides still look the same -I want to try the Truetype section, but where does one get these fonts? Don't I already have decent looking fonts somewhere on my system? I'm confused. Dru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
