Re: Firefox 1.5.0.1-3 fonts issue

put this in your profile or bashrc:
export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1
export MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=0

this should disable pango and fallback to Xft for rendering.
For the tiny fonts: make sure your xorg dpi settings are correct. Most ati and nvidia users suffer from this problem.

When disabling pango, there's no way to get it back. When enabling it, you can at least disable it if you want to.

Do you have any idea where I have to put this so it's executed at every bootup, using GDM? My .bashrc and .bash_profile doesn't seem to get loaded when I use GDM.

Try /etc/profile.

Try /etc/profile.

Putting the stuff in ~/.xsession seems to do the trick, too. And it's per-user that way.

Re: Firefox 1.5.0.1-3 fonts issue

I managed to set my fonts properly, even http://hacking.pl looks OK now

I edited a wiki page:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fon … mis-shapen.

adding a better way to set DPI.
