Hi,
I have recently upgraded FC1 to FC2 (woo-hoo!
), and all seems to be going well -- except for TTF support.
I have gone through the instructions
here, but I can't seem to be able to use Windows TTF with GTK 1.x apps. The very same procedure works flawlessly on FC1.
All steps seem to succeed, all proper files seem to be on the right place etc. 'xlsfonts' lists windows fonts without complaints. However, fonts appear ugly, as you can see by these screenshots from Sylpheed:
Sylpheed (FC1)
Sylpheed (FC2)
First one is how it looks on FC1 (I took it from my computer at work, but it was working like that on my home computer as well). I am using Verdana font, and it looks just like it should. Second one shows how it is appearing on FC2 -- this font is definitely not Verdana.
Sylpheed is configured to use this font on both versions:
-microsoft-verdana-medium-r-normal-*-*-90-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
I am running Xorg at 100x100dpi, using nvidia drivers. /etc/X11/fs/config has:
[...]
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,

#default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100
default-resolutions = 100,100,75,75
[...]
fonts.scale and fonts.dir have been created on /usr/share/fonts/ttf with:
ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
mkfontdir
I can't see what's wrong... any specific Xorg procedure I should do? Anyone else can confirm successfully enabling MS fonts with GTK 1.x on FC2? (please note: Verdana and other MS TTF
are working fine for GTK2).
TIA
Andre
