fonts(freetype?) problem

Net@Worm · 2004-09-25 15:17:05

Only in mozilla i have ugly bug with fonts at some sites, for example:

Need help...

PS: thats wrong with ftp.archlinux.org? I cant do 'pacman -Syu':

# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases... 
connect: Connection timed out
error: cannot connect to ftp.archlinux.org
gethostbyname: Success
error: cannot connect to ftp.oit.unc.edu
 current                  [################] 100%      40K    19.7K/s  00:00:02

I'm not sure what you meant with the fonts,
do you mean cyrillic fonts only?

and for the server: it's best to use a local mirror so that bandwidth is being lower on the arch main one,

No, not only cyrillic fonts, english fonts also ugly

PS: How about turs? Their location is ftp.archlinux.org.

I have solved this problem. I set mozilla-firefox to use my fonts(checkbox in Preferences --> General --> Fonts & Colours..)

yes i did that too, I use bitstream,
also set your DisplaySize in xorg.conf as shown in the wiki

and the turs should be on the mirrors, eg Chemnitz
ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/suns … /archlinux

Thnx, bitstream is nice
And thnx for mirror: it's really fast. But with new pacman, i get this error, when synchronizing turs:

With older pacman all is ok.
