Hi,

 I got good looking fonts setting for my firefox (and most others
 X11-progs) when installing Gentoo initially.

 Now I updated X11 (Xorg) and especiall firefox got a very bad
 font-set.

 Since I dont know the initial font settings of the firefox
 application I would be lucky, if one could post her/his one to me, so
 that I could get an idea, what fonts to use best.

 Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

 Have a nice weekend,
 Meino

Check that you have xdpyinfo on your system. Firefox uses that to
adjust fonts when it starts.

After upgrading to xorg-x11 7.0 I noticed that fonts in Firefox where
much ugliyer than they used to. I started it in a xterm and it
complained about a missing xdpyinfo. So, I emerged xdpyinfo and
re-started Firefox.

Voila, my fonts are back.

Hope it helps.

P.S.: If you haven't read it already, the HOWTO Xorg and Fonts
document is prety good.
