Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD native JDK 1.4.1 on 5.1R and I have question
concerning fonts. Fonts that are displayed in Java applications (Eclipse
for example) on my machine look too ugly (unsharp, rough - my eyes get
tired quite soon reading it) comparing to fonts of native apps. (KDE).

The corresponding section of my XF86Config looks like:

Section "Files"
   RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
   ModulePath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
   FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
   FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
   FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
   FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
   FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
   FontPath        "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW/"
   FontPath        "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
   FontPath        "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mozilla/"
EndSection

Can anybody tell me what's the problem?

Thanks

Mira
