 Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2005 11:11 pm Post subject: Weird Fonts with Firefox [SOLVED] |
 |
|
hi,
after having switched to gcc3.4 and newest glibc both firefox and thunderbird have changed their aspect and now they look very bad.
here's a screenshot (after having switched to gcc3.4, before having made any try): http://xoomer.virgilio.it/fctk/screenshot.png
enabling/disabling some options in about:config (in firefox) i had been able to adjust the way in which pages are rendered and in this way they look ok.
the problem is now that i can't see the list of all my truetype font in edit > preferences > fonts & colors. i have both corefonts and ttf-bitstream-vera installed. this problem is solved if i recompile firefox without gtk2 use flag, but gtk1 doesn't look so that good... 
actually firefox version is 1.0_rc2. i also tried 1.0 and 1.0-r3 (the latter has no gtk2 use flag). same problem.
xorg.conf and /etc/local/fonts.conf are the same as before everything.
i don't know what to do... no ideas...

i'll hazard a guess that you have "moznoxft" in your USE variables.

| Code: | thorium fctk # emerge -av freetype mozilla-firefox
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1 [2.1.5-r1] -bindist -debug -doc +zlib 0 kB
[ebuild N ] net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0-r3 -debug -gnome +java -ldap -mozdevelop -moznoxft -mozsvg -mozxmlterm -xinerama -xprint 0 kB |
i'm emerging now.
anyway in the meantime i emerged firefox-bin and thunderbird-bin and they work great (look ok, they recognize all tt fonts). so i think the problem is not in font configuration but in the way i compiled them (use flags, gcc, glibc, ntpd?,utf-8 etc...) |

same fonts with firefox-1.0-r3.
returning back to firefox-1.0_rc2 (but also keeping freetype-2.1.9-r1):
| Code: | | [ebuild UD] net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0_rc2 [1.0-r3] -debug -gnome +gtk2 -ipv6 +java -ldap -mozdevelop -moznoxft -mozxmlterm +truetype -xinerama -xprint 0 kB |

i looked at the logs in /var/log/portage and i discovered a thing. in all firefoxes and thunderbirds before the emerge -e world i see this:
| Code: | | --enable-xft gtk2 with xft2 (+gtk2 -moznoxft) |
in all firefoxes and thunderbirds after it i see this instead:
| Code: | | --disable-xft gtk2 without xft2 (bad pango version <1.1) |
when i said to compile with -gtk2 i instead see:
| Code: | | --enable-xft gtk1 with xft2 (-gtk2 -moznoxft) |
what's wrong with pango???
my installed version of pango is: 1.6.0. |

i finally discovered the problem is related to the locale.
if i compile ff or thund after having switched to POSIX locale everything is looks ok. if i compile them with utf-8 locale they looks bad.
this explain why the problem is arisen after the emerge -e world. in fact before having done this i set the locale to utf-8... before it was it_IT@euro.
anyway i think this is a bug so i'll post it to bugs.gentoo.org as soon as i can.
