what do you want us to do about it ? how is this in galeon-1.2.8 btw ? You should use 'enable document specified fonts' or something similar and the other fonts you can just select to your liking, the defaults of fontconfig are not related to galeon and is a matter of personal preference mostly. Currently these defaults are more sane anyway (we removed a RH patch, they prefer free fonts above all others). |
Galeon does not respect it's default fonts, but instead passes the request for font "serif" to fontconfig (finally). Fontconfig then gives it's default font which by default is "Nimbus Roman No 9" (if this font is installed which it is for me). This font is plain ugly, and not the font I selected either. Adding this to /etc/fonts/local.conf fixes it, but the selection should be possible through the configuration menu. <alias> <family>serif</family> <prefer> <family>Times New Roman</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>Arial</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>monospace</family> <prefer> <family>Courier New</family> </prefer> </alias>
