Any PFB (Postscript) or TTF font is scalable. Stuff in the speedo directory is too. Anything .pcf is bitmap. I wouldn't recommend removing those directories... some programs may hardcode fonts and require stuff there (usually "fixed"). Instead, what I do is set every application/toolkit/whatever I use to use scalable fonts. It's a long list of places to change, but won't break anything. Many programs accept X resources for this: Netscape*fontList: -monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1 Emacs*menubar*font: -monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-*-90-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1 Emacs*menu*font: -monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-*-90-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1 Emacs.font: -monotype-courier new-medium-r-normal-*-*-95-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 others have other means of configuration, like .gtkrc or the KDE control panel. That way, you can minimize use of bitmap fonts and live happily. -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors!
