 Posted: Thu Jul 18, 2002 11:54 pm Post subject: mozilla, antialiasing, and scrolling |
 |
|
I have a largely default install of just about everything, and use Mozilla. I get antialiased fonts in the browser. When I scroll Mozilla with the wheel, these fonts often end up missing lines as they are scrolled, often making them unreadable.
Anyone got any suggestions to fix this? |

Try putting this in your unix.js instead of what you have and then using Microsoft-verdana-iso8859-1 as your font, if the paths aren't currently in mozilla you will have to restart the browser after you edit your unix.js file.
| Code: |
// TrueType
pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);
pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6");
pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", false);
pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", false);
pref("font.antialias.min", 10);
pref("font.embedded_bitmaps.max", 1000000);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.min", 32);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.gain", "0.4");
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");

I use 1.1a and I don't have this problem, perhaps it's a source issue.

I had exactly the same problem. It really drove me crazy, because it only happened on one of two systems.
I solved it by setting "Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts->Display resolution" from "System setting" to "96dpi".
Hth,
Larde. |

Out of all the suggestions here, that one did it. The text isn't squirming in Mozilla's form controls either now. Very interesting. xdpyinfo claims my dpi is currently 92.
Incidentally, the unix.js mods posted above were almost all in the unix.js I already have. The only difference:
| Code: | pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.min", 32);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.gain", "0.4"); |
was previously
| Code: | pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.min", 64);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.gain", "0.8"); |
IIRC. Don't see how this would have helped anyway. Thanks all! |

Actually I was referring more toward the pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true); line, but at least your issue has been resolved.

Hey, fine!  You know, I almost turned off AA because it was so annoying when I finally found the solution. I already suggested that in the Tips&Tricks forum, but probably buried too deep in this thread to be noticed.
I just checked mine xdpyinfo again: It claims 90 dpi on my system. I am running a 1280x960 on 19".
Regards,
Larde.

I figured that was the biggie. It does seem to already be on by default, shrug. |
