I've got one of those neat Dell Inspiron 8100 laptops with the 1600x1200 display, which is about 135 pixels/inch. StarOffice 5.2 (out of ports) kind of breaks, and I think it is related to the high dots per inch of the display. When I'm editing an HTML document and display the HTML source in StarOffice, what I see are blobs that seem to be most, or all, the characters of that line drawn on top of each other. All the lines have a blob at the far left, but some also have more blobs spread out to the right. If I highlight (with the cursor) a portion of the screen, I can see /some/ of the text. This happens regardless of the font path settings that I've tried. If I move the webfonts (from ports also) entry from the bottom up to the top, 2 things, that I've noticed, happen. First, all the fonts (except the HTML source problem, which still doesn't work) look /much/ better. :) The other thing that happens is that the input forms on the hyperlink bar, which displays just above the font selection bar, doesn't show any forms or buttons, just a blank gray area where it otherwise would be. Moving webfonts back to the bottom of the font path brings the contents of the hyperlink bar. With this exception, true type fonts (the web fonts) work just great every place else. Here is the font section of my XF86Config: Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" 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/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mozilla" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts" EndSection To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
