Only if you are using bad hinted fonts. The Tahoma, Verdana, and other
MS fonts are excelent, and should be used without AA in sizes up to 9
or 10pt.
AA for this sizes is a workaround for bad hinted fonts, and also for
non byte-code interpreter freetype lib.

Doesn't help..... and I have ooo-kde installed.
Why the OOo FAQ, about switching fonts, does not work ?

python 2.4 on FC3
by Neal Becker
I would like to test python 2.4 with boost-1.32. I have an FC3 system.
Any suggestion on how to install python2.4 onto FC3 without breaking all the
system utils that use python? Obviously, I can just build python from
python.org source, but is there maybe an srpm that could be retarted to
install in parallel to existing 2.3?

Bootchart on SourceForge
by Ziga Mahkovec
Hi,
I uploaded the bootchart sources. Have a look at:
http://www.klika.si/ziga/bootchart/
and give it a try. Make sure you have the sysstat package installed
(for iostat).
Note that I only tested this on my laptop, so if it chokes on your boot
log files, please send them to me and I'll fix the parser or renderer.
I haven't managed to get it working with libgcj yet. I'll work it out
with the gcj guys; until then, you'll either have to use one of the evil
JDKs, or use the web form that's on the page.
Have fun,

P.S.: You do have that rescue CD at hand, right?

Your goals in the Fedora Project
Which packages do you want to see published?
I like the current list.
Do you want to do QA?
Second to developing my stuff, sure.
Anything else special?
Hmmm, no.
Historical qualifications
What other projects have you worked on in the past?
I've done some GUI work with KDE, posted quite a bit to
kde-look.org. I'm currently involved in a number of
projects. An event listener for X, a peer-to-peer
communications tool, and some other non-descript stuff
as of yet. I wrote a shell script to create iconsets
easily. I'm also quite active in x86_64 related stuff.
What computer languages and other skills do you know?
Java, C, limited C++, scripting, software design,
validation and verification, administration, blah
blah...
Why should we trust you?
Because I'm a non-threatening, non-intimidating,
sometimes arrogant geek.

Yeah, I couldn't find it here: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo
I probably should have just tried variations until it came up, oh well.

Okay, I'll keep most of my Extras questions to fedora-devel then.

I understand this, but just was curious on the reasons for preferring YUM.

See, this is _exactly_ the info I'm looking for.
Does anyone have some good links to these details?
Appreciate it!

prelink issues
by Colin Walters
Hi,
I'm a bit worried because we've been seeing a number of issues recently
that seem to be related to prelink. For example, we've been looking at
this bug today:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151307
Debugging this locally, we found that the hal daemon segfaulted very
quickly on startup, dying inside libdbus. However, it worked inside
valgrind. Havoc yesterday mentioned that if he re-prelinked libdbus, it
worked. We were able to confirm that.
A secondary issue is that we've occasionally seen shared libraries
suddenly not having the right SELinux contexts:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=139860
This has come up on earlier on this list too:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-November/msg00526.html
The hal/dbus issue appears to be reproducible on FC3+updates, but not
with stock FC3. My guess is that letting prelink run on stock FC3 might
cause this too, I'm about to check that.
Has anyone else seen any odd issues with their packages that might be
related to prelink? I wonder if there's a common thread here.
