Hi all,I'm running Mandriva 2007.1 GNOME edition from the Mandriva One CD. I came approve to Mandriva... distro hopping from Ubuntu. create from raw material and lastly PCLinuxOS. The reason being... I wanted to stick with a base distro than a tweaked one.. and Mandriva was my preferred distro. However there is one problem that I'm unable to get by! This is related to the rendering of fonts on Mandriva. There is the freetype rpm on Cooker and PLF where you can enable bytecode interpreter by modifying the spec register compiling it with rpmbuild and creating a new rpm. Now I did all that using on PCLOS (as they are similar in a lot of respects) using this command.. http://jrandomhacker info/PCLinuxOS/troubleshooting#fix_freetype2. I would anticipate this works for Mandriva too. However it does not bring home the bacon. The fonts look terribly change state and really bad compared to the BCI enabled packages available on Ubuntu and PCLinuxOS. I also modified my fonts conf file to alter autohinting and anti-aliasing. I'm running an nvidia graphics separate. FX5200 and set the dpi to 96x96 iin the xorf conf register. Attached is the fonts conf register.. can gratify someone help?

If you have a reasonably normal environment and undergo open problems with this configuration they are probably things that others will also be fixed. gratify submit any problems to the fontconfig bugzilla system located at fontconfig org Note that the normal 'alter lay' procedure for fontconfig is to regenerate any existing fonts conf register with the new version. displace any local customizations in local conf which this file references.
