Quoting Lars Stokholm <lars.stokholm@gmail.com> (from Thu, 31 Aug 2006 14:46:02 +0200): > Here's a screen dump from linux-firefox: > http://stokholm.dyndns.dk/~lars/tmp/20060831123810.png > > And here's one from freebsd firefox: > http://stokholm.dyndns.dk/~lars/tmp/20060831123930.png > > As you can see, the fonts on the first screen dump are not as nice as > those one the second. Is there anything I can do about it? The linux fontconfig and freetype libraries we use are older than those we use in FreeBSD native. So any differences between our native libs and the linux libs are set in stone... more or less. If you find newer libs which work with FC4 feel free to send patches (or at least pointers). Any differences in the build-time configuration of the libs (e.g., bytecode interpreter in freetype) are also not something we can change. Apart from this we try to use the FreeBSD native font configuration files, so if you find some which aren't reused (either by using a symlink or by "fall-through" to native ones), please tell us about it.
