I found that in /etc/gtk/ there are a bunch of config files that I could "play" with (verrrrry carefully), but I need that old app xfontsel to get the proper name to use. I cannot seem to find a Mandrake package for XFree86-tools, though, which apparently provides xfontsel. Know where I might find that? -- JoeHill ++ ICQ # 280779813 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."-- John Kenneth Galbraith -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

I used to be dead set against this whole AA fonts issue, but now that I've discovered Verdana, I think it looks pretty cool, definitely better than the jagged and enemic fonts I had before when I was running MDK 9.1 (had them disabled). Only problem is, although all GTK2 apps use the AA Verdana, all GTK 1.2 apps (well, all 2 of them: GCombust and J-Pilot) still use ol' Helvetica. Is there any way anyone's aware of to make them all consistent, or are GTK 1.2 apps simply not able to use AA fonts? I am running XFCE4 with Pekwm as my WM, and XFCE4 allows me to set the application fonts. I have tried editing my .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 config file thusly: style "user-font" { font="Verdana 10" } but to no avail.

Open-source software gets boost at UN http://www.iht.com/articles/121033.html Thursday, December 11, 2003 GENEVA: A months-long backroom battle led by Brazil, with support from India, South Africa and China, against the United States over open-source software took center stage Wednesday at the UN information summit meeting here. ... Brazil wanted the summit talks to endorse the idea that the digital divide cannot be bridged with proprietary software and that open-source software, which is developed collaboratively and exchanged freely over the Internet, is the best path forward. The language was watered down considerably in the summit meeting's written declaration after pressure from developed countries, according to participants, but the free software did get a mention as an important option for developing countries to consider. ... -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
