 |
|
did an update -u world and re-emerged X and mozilla to try and fix the original problem of moz not starting up. now it starts up.
but the menu fonts (i think they're gtk) are monospaced and change from that to some sort of non-serif font when windows are opened and closed. very unstable. and the fonts are larger than they should be thus moving certain menu items off the program into nowhere.
i have "gtk -gtk2" in my USE prefs because the last time i had this problem it was due to gtk2 being compiled in with mozilla and gaim. is gtk2 no required for moz 2? is there a way to fix the font w/o recompiling moz? it's annoying....
thanks,
ryan

judging from other posts in the forums...
how to i compile mozilla without gtk2 support? i want to compile it against gtk1! i have -gtk2 and gtk in my USE settings, but it appears to have compiled w/ gtk2 anyways.
how, oh how can i make it not do that?

This sounds impossible! Recent ebuilds of mozilla not only need "gtk2" to enable the gkt2 compile time option, they also require: | Code: | | WANT_GTK2="yes" emerge mozilla |
Are you absolutely positive it continues to compile with gkt2? The presence of /usr/lib/mozilla/components/libwidget_gkt2.so would imply yes ...
If so, then you could get bullish and try: | Code: | | WANT_GTK2="no" emerge mozilla |
but it really shouldn't be this way!
Even if you did use a gtk2 mozilla, that shouldn't be reponsible for bad font rendering. Have you moved elsewhere or deleted your old mozilla profile (~/.mozilla) so that a new one (including a fresh prefs.js) is generated?
And this "bug" I filed might help you make fonts look nice in Mozilla: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14668. Right now, my font rendering in Mozilla looks 99% as good as Windows and that's not an accolade I would give out lightly. |
