I've been trying to track down what exactly isn't loading right (either it can't find a font or it's horribly miscomputing metrics), but I have an icky exam due tonight.

I've kindof wondered what you refer to above when you say to install the webfonts port, and stick "this file" in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. Webfonts installs a bunch of TTF files, and places them in a dir in the normal fonts location. When using apps that don't make font loading a royal pain (KDE, I'm looking at you), I can load the webfonts fonts just fine. Although, testing has become much easier now that phoenix is around, and I can keep working while I break mozilla ::) I'll put in a screenshot after I get moz recompiled with XFT. - -Adam - -- Adam Weinberger adam@vectors.cx adamw@FreeBSD.ORG -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9uC+qo8KM2ULHQ/0RAll8AKDOQyURKjgJrgPV/8ZUEgOKq4SXUwCgoTUB JBTaxrSzwyiJ9bmokOjvutA= =G4Lh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
