Bug 21023 – Phoenix unix.js modification

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Narada Sage 2003-05-14 14:42:54 UTC]

Hello.  I'd like to propose a minor but effective change to phoenix 0.5
settings.  The settings file in question is the one below.

/opt/phoenix/defaults/pref/unix.js

To see the default emerged phoenix before the modification look here.

To see phoenix after unix.js has been replaced with modified version look here.

As can be seen there is much increased clarity and crispness in the appearance
of the text after modification.  The changes made to unix.js are minor and
generic and are spoken of in the comments of the file itself.  Here are the
individual changes.

// (1) Change true to false to turn hinting off
line 239: pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", false);
// (2) Increase minimum font size for antialiasing to be turned on from 10 to 16
line 241: pref("font.antialias.min",        16);

This change may not be necessary for phoenix 0.6 which is due to be released
shortly so I shall leave it to your discretion as to whether you'd like to wait
for the new release or go ahead with the change.  Many thanks.  If you'd like
further information please get in touch.

Hello.  I had guessed that this might happen.  This bug which relates to phoenix 0.5 is no longer applicable since Firebird 0.6 has been released.  If you feel it appropriate you may close this bug and having tried firebird 0.6 if I think that any changes need to be made I can repost.  I leave this at your discretion.  Many thanks.

This bug can now be closed as mozilla firebird version 0.6 deals with this suitably.
