Mozilla menu fonts after knx-hdinstall
Hi All
When I run knoppix off the CD, the menu fonts in Mozilla look really fantastic... very clear, crisp and legible.
But when I do a knx-hdinstall and run Knoppix off hard-disk, the fonts don't look quite as good.
Can anyone tell me how to recreate the CD-based Mozilla font configuration on the hard-drive.
Thanks

Does your hd install boot into KDM? For some reason I have found that booting into KDM borks the fonts in general in Knoppix and that it's quite noticeable in Mozilla.
Try this. After booting into KDE, (or whatever window manager you are using), open a shell and, as root, do:
Then login and do "startx"
Do your fonts look any better? I've found that this has a big effect on my fonts. If anyone knows what's going on here with KDM, let me know.

Try changing the -dpi 75 to -dpi 100 in the /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers.

Stephen,
I'll try it. Thanks.

That was a good suggestion Stephen, but it doesn't take care of the problem. The fonts still don't look as good as when X is started w/o KDM. The letters are very close together, small, and not as well defined as when I simply use "startx" I find this to be consistently the case across several machines and am still not sure what the problem is.

Stephen, I take it back. This is the fix I was looking for. It didn't seem this way last night because I only restarted X, but not KDM. This morning after a reboot, fonts are fixed. Thanks.
