I've got most of my fonts looking good on my LCD display. Antialiasing is working, etc.. But there are many pages and emails that look horrible. Whenever I look at the source it has always been Verdana, Helvetica or Arial. All the work I've done that has worked to improve my fonts has been in ~/.fonts.conf Here is what I'm trying that doesn't seem to have any effect: <match target="pattern" name="family" > <test name="family" qual="any" > <string>Helvetica</string> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="family" > <string>sans-serif</string> </edit> </match> <match target="pattern" name="family" > <test name="family" qual="any" > <string>Verdana</string> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="family" > <string>sans-serif</string> </edit> </match> In the same file I have antialias set to true, hinting set to true and hintstyle set to hintfull. Those all make a noticable difference. I haven't put size requirements on antialiasing, but I don't feel that's my problem. Because increasing the size of the problematic fonts doesn't help. I've tried the above redirects to Bitstream Vera Sans, but that also had no effect. I did try to put Verdana and Arial fonts from a windows machine into ~/.fonts directory, followed up with a fc-cache -f command. That had no effect. Any ideas? Also, where do I find what sans-serif is set to? Joseph Vella
