Anti-Aliased Fonts For GNOME

McVeigh revels in this posting at Gnotices site which reads: "GDKFXT transparently adds anti-aliased font support to GTK+-1.2. Once you have installed it, you can run any (well, nearly any) existing GTK+ binary and see anti-aliased fonts in the GTK widgets. You don't need to recompile GTK+ or your application.'" He adds "I'm running it now -- it it looks great!!"

    A NEWS PIECE!

    Slashdot website creator, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, was rushed to the hospital this afternoon after having his penis sliced off. Authorities say the accident involved Rob's penis, his computer, and an illegal computer device imported from China that was designed to stimulate the penis during cyber-sex. The authorities aren't releasing many details yet as to how it happened, but they suspect that the device malfunctioned which caused his penis to be sliced off. However, there is speculation among the Slashdot community that the Open Source Operating System "Linux" is to blame, for its faulty structure and lack of professional development. There is no word of whether there was any foul-play involved from hackers amongst the Linux community.

    No need to post any of the following comments, as I will take care of them for you:

    "Big deal. KDE has had AA since ..."

    "So what? OS X has had AA since ..."

    "This is news? Windows has had AA since ..."

    Unfortunately, I still don't have AA fonts, because I'm running debian and the alianized .deb I created didn't appear to do anything.

      Where have you been. IE6 was released days ago.

      You're right about one thing though, it does kick everything else's ass. But, then IE5 had already done that so, not much of an improvement.

  11. Troy Donahue, actor, dead at 65 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Actor Troy Donahue, a blond, blue-eyed teen heartthrob of the 1950s and '60s, died Sunday. He was 65.

    Donahue died at St. John's Hospital and Medical Center in Santa Monica after suffering a heart attack on Thursday, said family friend Bob Palmer.

    The actor played Sandra Dee's young lover in 1959's ``A Summer Place'' a role that made him a teen matinee star.

    ``He was a good-looking, blond guy who looked great on the beach,'' Palmer said. ``He was a little more moody - he wasn't a gee-whiz guy. His character was more the brooding youth, but with heroic underpinnings.''

    I thinking the same thing as you ,.. but it hasn't really antialiased any of my fonts... just changed them slightly.. but they still look like plain old gtk fonts ..

    i could be doing something wrong .... i used xmag on a few of the widget fonts and they still look clunky.

    Not really. Win2K has an ass-load of features, but it runs great on my PII-300 /w 256MB of RAM. I think its just that MS is willing to make some concessions in idealized architecture for the sake of performance. COM, for example, isn't as well suited as CORBA for remote interfacing. That's why DCOM was hacked in. However, most uses of objects is local, so COM makes a lot more sense. GNOME CORBA architecture might be more "pure" but MS's performs better for 99% of people's uses.
