I am doing the same, so, my apologies too. :-) > On Wed, Jul 12, 2000 at 10:04:19AM +0200, Torsten Landschoff wrote: > > If I understand your description correctly this option is never harmful but > > very useful for some setups.

Yes, we know. (Thanks, BTW!) As you may have read from other posts, from Debian JP developers, the suggestion is to make "startx" uses "-deferglyphs 16" by default too, because the people running into problem with xfs-xtt & xserver are the ones who run X manually with startx and didn't know they needed to use "startx -- -deferglyphs 16". The suggestion from SANO-san is to modify /usr/X11R6/bin/startx, whereas the suggestion from ISHIKAWA-san is to "#define DEFAULT_GLYPH_CACHING_MODE CACHE_16_BIT_GLYPHS" in fonts.h. Their messages were posted to debian-x@lists.debian.org, so you've probably read them already. Methinks both of these are excellent ideas, so, take your pick, or heaven forbids, let's do both! ;-) > I am adding "deferglyphs = 16" to the default xfs config file for 3.3.6-10. Hey, that would be a nice idea! :-) Although the 16bit CJK PCF fonts aren't anywhere as huge as the TrueType ones, it would definitely make loading those PCF fonts faster. :-) Thanks!
