still Not working!!! I installed the package you provided after removing my old mesa-libGLw 6.5 version ........
by the way may I ask what could be the possible reason for such a hazy fonts?? and what mesa-libGLw has to with it?? just out of curiosity!!
Now I tried another approach ...... I tried to install the grace by compiling myself ...... but I could have any success as it stops just during configure step, with the error
Code:
checking for a Motif >= 1002 compatible API... no
configure: error: M*tif has not been found
what could this mean?? even though I have
Code:
$ yum list | grep motif
openmotif.i386 2.3.1-1 installed
any idea about this??
I assume that you have tried several different fonts? From different font packages?? As ugly as this looks on-screen, does it print out OK???
yes as you have might notices in my first post I have tried with all lots of fonts with out any improvement though!! and about your last question :: even though it looks in ugly on the screen, it prints OK to any format eps or ps or svg or any other format.
One more point : when I install grace with yum : it installs this :
Code:
==================================================================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository Size
==================================================================================================================
Installing:
grace i386 5.1.22-2.fc10 fedora 1.2 M
Installing for dependencies:
fftw2 i386 2.1.5-16.fc9 fedora 394 k
lesstif i386 0.95.0-26.fc10 fedora 762 k
nedit i386 5.5-20.fc10 fedora 615 k
netcdf i386 4.0.0-1.fc10 fedora 575 k
t1lib i386 5.1.2-2.fc9 fedora 197 k
xbae i386 4.60.4-10.fc10 fedora 158 k
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi noarch 7.2-6.fc9 fedora 928 k
now have a look at this : for dependency it just installs xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi font ........ so the question is : does garce uses only this font?? I dont think so, because then why it asks for motif when I try to compile the source.....
ok may be I am talking silly ..... but my aim is to find a solution ....... so need help
