Thanks Anselm. That was my suspicion. It seems that the ubuntu people have applied ClearType patches (to libcairo perhaps?) that, imo, drastically improve the appearance of fonts on LCDs. I'm using dwm on a customized Debian stable setup, and I cannot get GTK apps to look good, whatever I do.
Seems like the solution is to start with a Ubuntu base. jds ________________________________ From: Anselm R Garbe <garb...@gmail.com> To: dev mail list <dev@suckless.org> Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 3:40:02 AM Subject: Re: [dev] OT: fonts in screenshot #2? 2009/8/10 John Stewart <cane_c...@yahoo.com>: > The fonts in screenshot #2 at http://dwm.suckless.org/screenshots/ look > terrific.

Do you mean the firefox fonts or the terminal font? terminal font is terminus, the firefox font is from ubuntu. Kind regards, Anselm
