I edited ~/.mozilla/fonts/catalogue/freetype.ksyrfgwk74w9.ndb
32 begin=Font_29
32 FamilyName=Times New Roman
32 Flags=00000003
32 FontFileName=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/times.ttf
32 VendorID=Mono
to
32 begin=Font_29
32 FamilyName=TenPin
32 Flags=00000003
32 FontFileName=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/times.ttf
32 VendorID=TenPin
This gave me the new option of font "TenP-TenPin-iso8859-1 in the mozilla font preferences. Also the option to select Agfa-Monotype-time disappeared. This must mean that they are effectively the same fonts. They certainly look identical.
So for anyone wondering how to select their MS fonts and have AA, use the ones labeled "Agfa". |

The problem I was having was with a page I had designed. The trick finally turned out to be specifying "Trebuchet MS" instead of "Trebuchet" on the page. They turn out to be the same font, but braindead mozilla thinks only the former deserves anti-aliasing.

kode54:
Your Anti-Aliasing is working but to get that Times font on Slashdot AAed you need to select the right font for Serif in Mozilla font preferences. Try Choosing Agfa Monotype-times new roman or some Times font that looks nice. |

All you have to do to get mozilla looking like this or this is:
Have a clean emerge of mozilla-1.1-r1 and xfree-4.2.0-r12 or xfree-4.2.1 and make the following adjustment to /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref/unix.js:
// TrueType
pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);
pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6");
// if libfreetype was built without hinting compiled in
// it is best to leave hinting off
pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", false);
pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", false);
// below a certian pixel size anti-aliased fonts produce poor results
pref("font.antialias.min", 0);
pref("font.embedded_bitmaps.max", 1000000);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.min", 0);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.gain", "0.0");
// sample prefs for TrueType font dirs
pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/share/fonts/truetype");
pref("font.directory.truetype.2", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF");
pref("font.directory.truetype.3", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype");
Just use the Agfa fonts and thats all you have to do. Of course it will get even better with mozilla 1.2 combined with xfree 4.2.1.

have you emerged these:
app-text/freefonts
app-text/sharefonts
??
i am just trying to work out what i have done and you haven't
you could try deleting ~/.mozilla but this will wipe all you mozilla mail, bookmarks, etc
have a poke through ~/.mozilla/default/blah/prefs.js |

also make sure that
| Code: | | ll /etc/make.profile |
gets you
| Code: | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Sep 9 00:10 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/

I dont get that, but i think that is because i am running on a 1.2 system
kappax@thebox kappax $ ll /etc/make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Sep 22 20:53 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0
kappax@thebox kappax $
I have installed the freefonts and the shaired fonts, they show up in mozilla and i can slect them, but none of them show up with upercase names, every font in the list starts with a lower case.
I just find it odd that Konqueror finds the fonts fine but Mozilla refueses. |

You should probably jump to 1.4. There is probably something missing in 1.2 that you need. Even if you haven't upgraded to gcc 3.1 or 3.2 it is still very easy to upgrade to gentoo 1.4.
| Code: | rm /etc/make.profile
ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4 /etc/make.profile
emerge rsync
|
means that portage now has all the 1.4 packages
will tell you which of your packages can be upgraded in 1.4
you could post that list here or just remerge xfree-2.4.1 and mozilla-1.1-r1
note: if you have heard about people having trouble upgrading to 1.4, that it is is when they upgrade gcc as well don't do that unless you know what you are doing.

looking at that i recommend remerging xfree-2.4.1 and mozilla-1.1-r1.
sorry man, but it might just work this time
x11-misc/ttmkfdir-1.0 might be important

because changing the profile link changes everything. You would probably find that emerging xfree and mozilla will emerge lots of other things first.
Try
| Code: | | emerge -p x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.2.1.ebuild |
and
| Code: | | emerge -p net-www/mozilla/mozilla-1.1-r1.ebuild |
to see if there are new dependancies.
I might me wrong |

he gets glibc 2.3.1 cos he switched to the new unstable branch 
I get great AA in mozilla using the settings that zepar mentionned in the 3rd article of this thread in my user.js.
However, what he didn't mention, is that you may need to add the path where your truetype fonts (ms webfonts and others) are:
| Code: | cat .mozilla/default/7o8al3e5.slt/user.js
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.onunload", "noAccess");
pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);
pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6");
// if libfreetype was built without hinting compiled in
// it is best to leave hinting off
pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", true);
pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", true);
// below a certian pixel size anti-aliased fonts produce poor results
pref("font.antialias.min", 6);
pref("font.embedded_bitmaps.max", 1000000);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.min", 64);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.gain", "0.1");
pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/share/fonts/truetype");
pref("font.directory.truetype.2", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType");
