Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I managed to get rid of the evolution font boxes, by specifying courier |
| 4 |
10 pitch in the gnome font dialog, instead of courier new, for |
| 5 |
fixed-width fonts. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
However, courier 10-pitch looks a bit ugly... What's wrong with courier |
| 8 |
new, and why does it show boxes for spaces? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
the firefox font box problem is still there too: |

I am assuming it _is_ important, because firefox shows ugly squares |
| 27 |
everywhere in between words. |

Font Path: |

I tried installing font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi and |
| 55 |
font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi, I tried playing around with font |
| 56 |
settings in firefox and gnome, and I still get these ugly boxes when |
| 57 |
viewing java applets in firefox... |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
any more suggestions? |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
thanks a lot for the help - this is really annoying. I'm starting to |
| 62 |
see it on other machines too - not just my laptop... |

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) |
