Package: xserver-common Version: 4.2.1-4 Severity: wishlist
Hi, here is an excerpt from the XFree docs in file README.fonts section 2.2.4: >For best results, scalable fonts should appear in the font path before the >bitmap fonts; this way, the server will prefer bitmap fonts to scalable fonts >when an exact match is possible, but will avoid scaling bitmap fonts when a >scalable font can be used. (The `:unscaled' hack, while still supported, >should no longer be necessary in XFree86 4.0 and later.) dexconf does not comply with this advice: - it uses the :unscaled "hack" - scalable fonts appear *after* bitmap fonts Therefore I suggest that dexconf reorders the FontPath lines when writing the XF86Config-4 file. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux irancy 2.4.20-k7 #2 Sun Dec 1 13:41:25 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR@euro, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR@euro Versions of packages xserver-common depends on: ii debconf 1.2.21 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii xfree86-common 4.2.1-5 X Window System (XFree86) infrastr -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
