Then I don't have any idea what could mess with your font settings. I have meanwhile checked out xmms and indeed the fonts look worse (though not as bad as in my intentionally screwed up iceweasel screenshot): http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer/fontconfig/xmms-fonts.png (Umlauts seem to work fine, so there does not seem to be a fundamental problem with using xmms in an *.UTF-8 locale.) On the other hand, you should never have such problems with iceweasel. It would help if you could put a few example screenshots somewhere. I am starting to suspect that I might be barking up the wrong tree with the hinting business. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
