You might want to add that to the FAQ right now, people keep on asking: To enable galeon to use Antialiasing Fonts you need to - set up mozilla for Antialiasing http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fonts/unix/enabling_truetype.html - copy the font preferences from mozilla to galeon's prefs.js (i.e. the font.name lines) - do not touch galeon font settings ;) (which will modify the font.name lines) that was sufficient here. Don't know about other distributions; debian mozilla loads /etc/mozilla/prefs.js, i do NOT know if all distributions support such a global mozilla configuration file. Contents are as follows: (modified by me, not default) ---- // Mozilla prefs for Debian pref("intl.accept_languages", "en"); // XIM style pref("xim.input_style", "over-the-spot"); // TryeType pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true); pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6"); pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", true); pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", false); pref("font.antialias.min", 10); pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"); pref("font.directory.truetype.2", "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"); pref("font.directory.truetype.3", "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice"); // AA with Bitmap scaling. pref("font.scale.aa_bitmap.enable", true); pref("font.scale.aa_bitmap.always", false); pref("font.scale.aa_bitmap.min", 4); ---- The font preference lines I use are: (It's important that they do start with a Capital letter!!!) ---- user_pref("font.name.cursive.x-unicode", "Microsoft-verdana-iso10646-1"); user_pref("font.name.cursive.x-western", "Agfa monotype-arial-iso8859-1"); user_pref("font.name.fantasy.x-unicode", "Microsoft-comic sans ms-iso10646-1"); user_pref("font.name.fantasy.x-western", "Microsoft-comic sans ms-iso8859-1"); user_pref("font.name.monospace.x-unicode", "Agfa monotype-courier new-iso10646-1"); user_pref("font.name.monospace.x-western", "Agfa monotype-courier new-iso8859-1"); user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-unicode", "Agfa monotype-arial-iso10646-1"); user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-western", "Agfa monotype-arial-iso8859-1"); user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western", "Agfa monotype-times new roman-iso8859-1"); ---- Greetings, Erich |

That's all well and good unless you installed from RPMs (or maybe it's just me) but despite doing all of that, I still can't get AA fonts working. Perhaps it's because I'm using xfs, but that would mean that no RH7.2 box would work by default.

Well, I would reply to my own post, but it hasn't made it to the list yet, so I'll just do it this way. The RedHat RPMS you can download from the Mozilla site DO NOT have FreeType support compiled in, you might want to add that to the FAQ as well. --Shahms |

Plus, that freetype support is all client side rendering. It's going to be quite slow.

This isn't really part of the thread, but I was curious: I gave Mozilla with AA enabled a go on my X terminal, and I found it really quite slow; this is the reason? -- ________________________________________________________________________ \ David B.

Apologies :) Freetype code. To be more specific, by "quite slow", I mean when scrolling it's almost as bad as if I'm scrolling an image - scrolling text normally works fine. Does Mozilla render the AA text to a bitmap of sorts and push that over the wire? -- ________________________________________________________________________ \ David B.

very likely, since there are some settings like:
// AA with Bitmap scaling.
pref("font.scale.aa_bitmap.enable", true);
pref("font.scale.aa_bitmap.always", false);
pref("font.scale.aa_bitmap.min", 6);
so they even use bitmap scaling for generating small font sizes.
Greetings,
Erich

Those should only be used for Asian fonts at the moment. I don't think
those have anything to do with FreeType fwiw.

Thanks for helping keep SourceForge clean.
