Probably the font doesn't get anti-aliased. While some prefer the `crisp' look of this, others find it ugly. Did the setting change anything at all? Try with a font that looks very different, so you see if the setting has any effect. Maybe that programme doesn't use xresources for configuration. > My Gtk (2.0+) Program has a good UI , everything fine . > If it's problem with gtk1's rc file , i would make mistakes. GTK2 uses a completely different system (fontconfig + freetype). GTK1 still uses core fonts, if I'm not mistaken (haven't got it around anymore). And AFAIK it also doesn't do anti-aliasing. I think that this might be your main problem. I, too, spent a lot of time trying to get nice fonts in the old system. But this is a Don Quichottesque task. Unlike Don Quichotte, however, I gave up at some point and just accepted my defeat. Nowadays everything supports nice fonts, including xterm and TK, and I don't have any gtk1 apps. So for me the problem disappeared. harry _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
