Hi, netscape looks ugly, so I am trying to play with Greg Leheys tips from
demon news. There, sorry, no URL, its an old file from my harddrive, he
suggests changing the order of the lines in fontpath:

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....
