  1. Re:Antialiased Fonts in Mozilla on Best Fonts for Linux Browsers? · · Score: 1
    I have this as my Mozilla-TT settings, and the AA'ed fonts look absolutely great:
    // TrueType
    pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);
    pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6");
    // if libfreetype was built without hinting compiled in
    // it is best to leave hinting off
    pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", true);
    pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", true);
    // below a certian pixel size anti-aliased fonts produce poor results
    pref("font.antialias.min", 6);
    pref("font.embedded_bitmaps.max", 1000000);
    pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.mi n", 64);
    pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.gain", "0.1");
    // sample prefs for TrueType font dirs
    pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/");
    pref("font.directo ry.truetype.2", "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice");
  2. Have it, love it on DSL Rising · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've had ADSL for a couple of months now, and I love it. It's very reliable and the speed is always consistent - which is about the complete opposite of what many Dutch cable-internet providers are selling.

  3. Re:I guess.... on University of Twente NOC Fire Arson · · Score: 1

    He will be judged by a single judge, no jury. Having full access to lawyers who are not capable of making any money out of this beyond their reasonable salary. He will maybe even go to prison (not that likely though). A single judge in the Netherlands can only sentence someone to a maximum of one year in prison - not very likely to happen with this guy. Arson causing danger to goods and the lives of people can put him away for a maximum of 15 years. Since he caused so much damage, he won't get away with it (and yes, that means long time in prison - things have changed overhere while you were gone).

  4. Re:Console on Killing Clutter With The Antidesktop · · Score: 1

    Well I think the idea is that you can have it basically like you are in cli with screen, but if you absolutely need to view a web page with a graphical browser you can. But that's my point: running X just because there may be a need some time to view a graphical webpage seems overkill to me. Talk about bloat. (And besides, decent webpages - even those with images - are perfectly viewable in Links.)

  5. Console on Killing Clutter With The Antidesktop · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think this guy is taking it too far. If you really want to avoid all bloat, you shouldn't run X anyway. Seems to me someone who doesn't like windowmanagers etc. should just run stuff from the console (and definately not Mozilla).
