There, sorry, no URL, its an old file from my harddrive, he suggests changing the order of the lines in fontpath: << December 1999 Search Site Submit Article Contact Us Join Us Merchandise Living with Netscape by Greg Lehey, grog@FreeBSD.org [snipp] So how do you tell the X server to use 100dpi? In the X server configuration file /etc/XF86Config, you'll find the following lines close to the top: [snipp] These lines define a search path like the PATH environment variable that your shell uses to find executable programs. The way the file is set up, the server will find the fonts in the 75dpi directory if they're there. To make it search the 100dpi fonts first, change the order of the lines: FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" >> But I dont have such lines in /etc/XF86Config. My file looks like this: << # XF86Config auto-generated by XF86Setup [snipp] Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" EndSection >> How should I change things ? The 100dpi font is installed, but it doesnt appear in XF86Config. Maybe this manipulation would also be good for acroread etc....
