Some good portions of CDE can run using XFT - I believe Peter spent some time playing with this. Of course your Motif libs need to be compiled with that support (as is at least the case on Ubuntu systems). See the wiki: https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/FontsWithXFT/ It would be great to get this working more fully on CDE (there are issues, such as dtterm). This would also improve the i18n experience due to TTF fonts and smarter glyph substitution... -jon > Thank you for your time, > -Chase > > > ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ > On Saturday, February 6, 2021 1:20 PM, Lev via cdesktopenv-devel > <cdesktopenv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> I would like to gather feedback from everyone on the list on whether >> we should switch the default font (a bitmap rendering of Lucida) to a >> manually adjusted screen font designed to maximize legibility. >> >> I’ve attached before and after screenshots.
