Guilmette --- Thank god for Google. I was just now able to find the proper solution/workaround for this problem here: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/firefox-fonts-jagged-and-ugly.63964/ The command line: cd /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d && ln -s ../conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf appears to resolve the problem/issue, at least for me, at least on this one system. Given that I know, and knew, nothing whatever about either fonts or these various/numerous FreeBSD font configuration files, I am quite sure that I w= ould not have been able to even guess the above command line in a thousand years= if someone else had not already written it down for me. (And I suspect that is probably true also of the majority of FreeBSD users.) Fortunately, this was/is a problem that SEVERAL other people have already complained about, in the past, on the FreeBSD X.org forum (see thread above= ), and thus, I was able to find the proper fix/workaround. It remains unfathomable to me however, as to why this problem hasn't been or can't just be fixed, once and for all, by the relevant maintainers. (At th= is moment I don't know if this needs a Firefox-specific fix or if it needs fix= ing in the xorg package/port. Either way, it is obvious that fixing the problem properly will not require anything much in the way of new engineering, so t= here seems to be little excuse not to fix the problem. Even Section 5.5.1 of the Handbook says right up front that the default xorg fonts are awful!) --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
