Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2003 4:30 pm Post subject: mozilla 1.4 -- menu fonts look like crap |
|
|
Hello,
This is my first full day using Gentoo, after spending a day getting it running. My only complaint is that the menu fonts in mozilla aren't anti-aliased. The email messages are, and web pages are, but the menu fonts are not.
s there something I need to to to get Mozilla to use Xft, or something else? Font wizards, help!!! |

Two things:
1) When you install Mozilla, do:
emerge -vp mozilla
and look at the flags. You should see something like:
[ebuild R ] net-www/mozilla-1.4 +java +crypt -ipv6 -gtk2 +ssl -ldap -gnome -mozsvg -mozcalendar -mozaccess -mozp3p -mozxmlterm -moznoirc -moznomail -moznocompose -moznoxft
This is correct for having xft support. If you had USE="moznoxft" set, then you wouldn't have xft support.
2) Check the fonts in the mozilla preferences. I think the menu fonts won't change until you restart mozilla, but I can't remember. I have mine set to sans-serif and they look great! |

Moved from Desktop Environments. Please try searching next time. There are gobs of posts on the forums about menu font tweaks in mozilla. I'm sure you'll be able to get them up and running nicely in no time! _________________ if i never try anything, i never learn anything..

Moving back to Desktop Envinronments because pathwalker has been unable to find a solution in the mass of threads about Mozilla menu fonts. Hopefully, someone will find a way to get this working for him. _________________ if i never try anything, i never learn anything..

You have to provide much more of information to make us able to help you.
Is your mozilla compiled with gtk1.2 or gtk2?
I think a post of Code: | ldd /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin | could help here.
I am curious wether libgtk2 or/and libxft are included.

So, as a shoot in the dark I suggest you do an Code: | env USE="-gtk gtk2" mozilla | to see after an hour AAed menu fonts

that was 100% correct.

I understand what this implies, but I am unsure were it is used. Is this append to an emerge, or added to make.conf, or ...? |

you can put it in make.conf, or you can do:
USE="gtk2 -gtk" emerge mozilla |
