Hello everybody,
I did a downgrade to debian/stable - after a knoppix harddisc a few weeks ago (which is a mix of stable and testing)
However, right now the fonts in mozilla are ugly - they used to be much better and I'd want to get those fonts back; Because I don't like the mozilla mail client in 1.0 (it lacks message filtering) I downloaded the new mozilla 1.5 for now; However, the fonts are still the same
Anyway - how can I get the better fonts back? What packages do I need ?
Install mozilla-xft.

I have apt-cached search mozilla-xft
but it doesn't find any thing, I've searched for mozzila and xft as well with out luck.
Where do I need to look?

deb http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody/ gnome2.2/
in your /etc/apt/sources.list
and you can either apt-get install mozilla-xft, but that is version 1.2, so you would be better to apt-get install libxft2 libxft-dev and then get:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.6b/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.6b.tar.gz
then put these lines in ./mozconfig in the /mozilla dir:
ac_add_options --enable-default-mozilla-five-home=/opt/mozilla
ac_add_options --with-x
mk_add_options MOZ_CVS_FLAGS="-q -z 9"
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --enable-xft
ac_add_options --enable-gtk
ac_add_options --disable-jsd
ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize=-O3
ac_add_options --disable-dtd-debug
ac_add_options --disable-logging
ac_add_options --enable-reorder
ac_add_options --enable-strip
ac_add_options --enable-elf-dynstr-gc
ac_add_options --enable-cpp-rtti
ac_add_options --enable-extensions=all
ac_add_options --disable-svg
and run ./configure.
After that run make and it will cook for 2 or 3 hours. Then you have an xft enabled most recent mozilla. Beautiful! But on Woody you will have this:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228480
which may or may not affect you, depending on how you use Mozilla.
