hostile? now you made me laugh. just look at how you and Marc annihilated that poor guy a couple of mails above. a bit of self reflection please... i am far from being hostile. you read it that way because you dislike me, that's all. if a developer "doesnt care" about something, it's cool, it's hip. if i do, it's hostile. > > i regularly produce files in X using a boatload of applications > > from gimp to tex and have never come accross the problem you > > are trying to solve. contrarywise, now the system messes > > with my font configuration for no good apparent reason. > > It does not -- it actually offers vector fonts that are installed to > applications instead of only offering them bitmap fonts. it overrides (amongst others) generic foundry name space with one particular font face. you are also ignoring everyone who has additional fonts intalled in addition to those bitmap ones... i am really curious about those other examples. otherwise this is a very intrusive firefox-specific system-wide personal setting and should be deal with as such... -f -- xerox never comes up with something original.
