Hello,

I use MDK 10.1 and there are really ugly fonts. I found some tutorial how to fix it ( convexhull.com/mandrake_fonts.html ). But when I installed FreeType, nothing had been changed. Windows fonts like Verdana reallz do not look like thez do in Windows.

I also couldn't do this:

"
Now go to the file include/freetype/config/ftoption.h and look for the line

/* #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER */
Go ahead and uncomment it:

#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
"

because I didn't find that line in the file ftoption.h

What should I do?

Thank you for your support.

That's kind of the whole deal there chief. It's there, trust me.

Follow the links in my sig. It may be helpful to you.

Well, you'll right, it was there, I looked up in the wrong file.

But no improvement has come after I installed it again.

BTW: this I get while configuring and making:

[root@localhost freetype-2.1.9]# ./configure --prefix=/usronfigure --prefix=/usr
..
make: Nothing to be done for `unix'.
[root@localhost freetype-2.1.9]# make
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Besides what I hope are typos, the issue is that you have allready configured the package. The easiest solution is to delete the directory, extract the tar again, edit the file to enable the bytecode interpreter, then run ./configure --prefix=/usr again. That should do it for you.

HTH

Thank you!
It's great now!

Glad to hear it.

Another hint: Save the freetype-2.1.9 directory you successfully compiled in. If/when you upgrade X in the future, it may overwite your libs and make things ugly again. If you have the directory, all you have to do is run "make install" from within it and everything will be fixed.
