Mine looks like: FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" The URW fonts have the same names as some of the 75dpi or 100dpi ones, so if you miss out the 'unscaled' keyword the server will just scale a bitmap font instead of using the URW one. This was from an earlier thread in freebsd-java. Search for 'URW'. >4) I ran /usr/X11R6/lib/Mkfontdir (I writing from memory so that may not be >the exact path and filename) while in the URW directory I don't think you want to do this. It comes with the font directory files >5) I logged out from KDE and did a 'startx' >It was my understanding (from a post on the -java list) that the URW fonts >would make Netscape look/behave much better (along with possibly making Java >look better, but that is a secondary consideration for me right now) but >when I start Netscape, I don't really see anything different. >Have I done anything wrong?
