I have  a sarge system  where I initially  installed gnome. Apparently
some fonts were installed  at that stage and seem to  be the only ones
available even after I removed gnome, at least to some applications.

Now these fonts  are apparently suitable for all occasions  - you have
the  usual  serif,  sans,  mono,.. etc.  but  unfortunately  they  are
anti-aliased to the point of being unreadable.

I have poked  around a bit and found something  called fontconfig that
seems like  a replacement for  the old X font  system (?) -  not sure,
there is  some technical doc  available for  fontconfig but I  did not
find much that explains what  it's really for.. Some applications like
mozilla seem to be fontconfig-aware while others are not.

Now my  question is how  can I  disable this anti-aliasing? Do  I need
to  remove  the  fontconfig  package? At this  point  I'm  considering
reinstalling  gnome,  reconfiguring  it  w/o  anti-aliasing  and  then
removing it unless s/o could come up w/ a more sensible solution.
