Mozilla GTK2?

LaoTzuTao · Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2003 2:23 pm Post subject: Mozilla GTK2?

Hello, I'm having an issue with Mozilla. It seems it's using GTK2, because my fonts for File, Edit, my Bookmarks, etc. are very small. Yet I don't have GTK2 in my USE, so I don't understand why it's using GTK2. How can I compile it with GTK+ instead? Thanks

USE="-gtk2" emerge Mozilla

I doubt you can have mozilla compile with GTK2 support by "accident", the ebuild doesn't allow it, unless you add specifically the command to force use of GTK2. So either you did ask for GTK2 support, or your problem is not GTK2 related.

By the way, which mozilla are you using ?

Well up to 1.3_beta, you still needed the WANT_GTK2 option, but right, for 1.3-r1, it seems they removed it... it's better anyway, GTK2 works very well. I used it for months now without problem.

LaoTzuTao, unless you don't want GTK2 anywhere, may be you should try to fix your fonts, rather than re-compile mozilla. I have very nice font in my mozilla menu - especially with GTK2.

well type emerge -pv mozilla first
and if it says +gtk2 then modify properly USE="-gtk2"

Well emerge -pv mozilla gives me this output: [ebuild R ] net-www/mozilla-1.3-r1 +java +crypt -ipv6 -gtk2 +ssl -ldap -gnome -mozsvg -mozcalendar -mozaccess -mozinterfaceinfo -mozp3p -mozxmlterm -moznoirc -moznomail -moznocompose -moznoxft

So it would seem it's not using GTK2, it's just weird to me...if I manually download mozilla without using any ebuilds, the fonts I mention are fine, and the actual webpage fonts aren't using AA, the fonts all look just like they do in Gimp, which uses GTK+. But when I use the ebuild...the fonts are really small, and the webpage fonts are all using AA, just like Gaim-0.61 which is using GTK2. I like the look of everything in Mozilla, wegpage wise, its just the File, Edit, Bookmarks, etc. that are really small and hard to read, which annoys me, so is there any way I can just change those particular fonts? :?:

Ok I'm confused...So the fact that it's using Xft makes the fonts look like that, and not because of GTK2? Well how would I go about 'fixing' my Xft...I don't have much font experience, I just pick the ones I like :wink:

Just for everyone's info, the versions I'm using:
$ qpkg -I -v freetype
media-libs/freetype-2.1.4 *
$ qpkg -I -v xft
x11-libs/xft-2.0.1-r2 *
$ qpkg -I -v fontconfig
media-libs/fontconfig-2.1-r1 *
Where do I go from here?
