Not sure what to say here. >=20 bitstream-vera is not installed with the XFree86 meta-port, the fact that it's installed with the xorg meta-port is the change in behavior. My setup is very plain and standard. On a 4.x machine, I have XFree86-4.4.0,1 (no bitstream-vera). On a 5.x machine, I have xorg-6.7.0_1 (with bitstream-vera). I also have the following fonts installed, on both machines: cyr-rfx-koi8-o-1.1 mozilla-fonts-1.0_1 webfonts-0.21_1 On 4.x, I get the English and Russian versions of the FreeBSD website displayed in a similarly sized font. On 5.x with bitstream-vera, Russian version is still displayed with the same "normal" (in my definition of normal) sized font, while the English version is rendered by enlarged font from the bitstream-vera collection. When I remove bitstream-vera, everything is back to normal. Can you do this for me? Please visit the www.FreeBSD.org's main page, visually remember the font size, then temporarily move /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera to another directory so it's not found by fontconfig, restart X and browser (I'm using firefox) and visit the page again. Can you see the difference in the size? Sorry in advance for saying this, but without bitstream-vera, it looks more "like in Windows", too. ;) Cheers, --=20 Ruslan Ermilov ru@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer --GUPx2O/K0ibUojHx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBI7qjqRfpzJluFF4RAutPAJ92ifsayj6q/ShLGNG6HoW+tAvGTACghK63 CiVDlR6l6Z8RO4D9YvpWRKs= =TOnH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GUPx2O/K0ibUojHx--
