Hello!
I have some problems with xfree86 displaying Cyrillic characters. I run
the latest version of X on my cygwin machine (x-server), and FreeBSD 4.8
(x-clients). I use KDE as my desktop. When I run Konqueror, Cyrillic
characters look great, but when I run Mozilla, everything seems to be
smashed a lot and instead of Cyrillic characters, I get some squares
with numbers.
In addition, I really do not like the anti-aliasing feature in the
xfree86. It makes my monitor look like rubbish. How can I disable it?
This is the messages I get right after starting the X server on my cygwin:
