Hi: 1) I downloaded URW fonts from www.gimp.org/fonts.html. 2) I placed them in /usr/X11R6/lib/Xll/fonts/URW 3) I changed my /etc/XF86Config to include a line pointing the fonts 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 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? Have I missed anything? Are there alternatives to URW? I am using linux-netscape 4.73 on XF86 3.3.6 on 4.0-STABLE.
