Hi guys:

The other day I installed 4.9-Stable on my laptop and I followed 
the handbook to setup my system (Updating sources, compiling kernel, 
compiling world and so on.. ) 
After installing the X window system, I installed some X applications 
from the ports: (firefox, gaim to name a few.... )
After launch these programs for the first time I realized that menu
fonts where really crappy. 
The thing is that I had to install webfonts and to tune a little bit
the X config file to get decent fonts.
I don't know if I made some mistake following the rules in the handbook
but if not I think it would be good to add my experiences in the
handbook(The X Window System - Using Fonts in XFree86 section). 

Let me know what you guys think,

David.
