Arthur - see if this makes any difference with Firefox for you. I

Try a site first to compare to later. Then, as 'root' edit
/etc/profile
add this
export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1
It can be anywhere but I put it just under the original export line.
save and close.
Wouldn't it be better to put it in a file in /etc/profile.d? That
way, it would survive an update. You should really create 2 files -
firefox.sh and firefox.csh.
I had not thought of this that way. I don't do updates only clean
installs. But you could very well be correct.
I was thinking more along the lines of a setup RPM update. Depending on
how it was handled, you would end up with profile.rpmsave or
profile.rpmnew if you made the change in /etc/profile.
Do you know what the disadvantages of using this? Would it be worth wile
to add the /etc/profile.d/firefox.[c]sh files to the Firefox package?
As I understand this, the way it was explained to me, is that Pango helps
the display of the hmm... more complicated fonts. The 'double wide' fonts
like Chinese characters for example and there are others. I do *not* know
this but I was told that since I only use the 'single' fonts I don't
really need Pango. I have not recommended this to anyone with an obviously
Oriental name. :-)
As a clearly explained *option* I would think it would be an acceptable
change. Might even be a good idea.
And, for those of us that a 'speed freaks', Firefox 3.0 runs circles
around Firefox 2.0. IMO. ;-)
