The frontpage looks great, thanks for "restoring" it. It is kind of cool to see which thread the most recent post went into. But I will second the notion to return the "newest member" bit to the top. I always loved watching our user count grow. ... Oh wait, there it is at the bottom. Cool. Any need to move it to the top? Ah, not a big deal.

That's funny, Firefox looks nothing like that on my machine. I'm starting to like how it renders more than IE did (I know Bitt will be happy that I'm becoming an anti-aliasing fan)

I assume those are all MacOS X. Yeah. The Mozilla folks are obviously unconcerned about making their products look good there. Don't know why. Firefox 0.9.1 on my new laptop (and, yes, I do intend to continue mentioning it as much as possible) looks quite good, especially after I turned ClearType on.

Hmmm, a little better than on OS X, but still looks like a** compared to any other browser unfortunately. Dignan's screen shot is less than perfect as well (in my opinion). Seems like the mozilla family is still a bit behind in font handling.

Frankly, the fonts in Firefox 0.8 on Debian/unstable really suck. They're not even sans-serif. Why is font management so bloody hard in X/Gnome/KDE/whatever?

I think you answered your own question.

One thing that does irritate me with Linux is the lack of standards in the most important part, the GUI. If it is going to be a modern desktop OS, it has to have a good working GUI that anyone can pick up and use, and not just the one user of that machine.

This is one reason why I don't run Linux on the desktop. It however rocks on the server when the interface I See is the same local, or over port 22.

X had no facility for antialiasing fonts until about two years ago. Before that, all fonts were 1-bit rendered, and that was defined by the spec. I haven't looked into what the new stuff does, but it's implemented as an extension to the X protocol, not as a replacement for the standard font rendering. As such, programs have to be specifically built to use the new font renderer.

Of course, I haven't looked at this in a while and could be wrong.
