[LUGSB] X font deuglification

[Akshat Aranya]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to get fonts to look ok in browsers (Konqueror, 
Mozilla, etc.).  Most of the time I get anti-aliased fonts, but certain 
pages show up with ugly fonts, for example, nytimes.com and google.  I 
think there is some category of web page fonts that get mapped to the 
wrong system fonts. I'm using Mandrakelinux 10.0 and my X runs with xfs.

I gave a guest lecture in the graduate OS course.  It has an interesting
take on things.  Rather than trying to overview everything, it has a lot
of low-level details on a few things.

If you're into how stuff works, then it should be fun.  If not, you can
heckle. :)
