[ale] Pretty Netscape?

[Robert Hoffman]

Hi Michael,

I think the font-deuglification HOWTO has been adopted as an official mini-howto by LDP. I really haven't messed with fonts since setting up my current Redhat 6.2 box at home. I stick to mostly a TUI (text user interface :-) at work so I hardly notice lack of true type fonts there.

I have this dream that we'll get our own out-of-the box true-type fonts about the time we get a distribution including kernel 2.4, apache 2.0, KDE 2.0, and XFree 4.0. That could just be a dream though; It's hard to tell my Linux fantasies from realities sometimes. It seems as though, if I'm patient enough, all of my fantasies come true.

-Rob
