Has anyone else noticed how weird the fonts presentation is (e.g., slanted text) in the GUI of X11 based on XFree86 and Windowmaker? I also have the fontconfig, freetype and Xft2 ports installed. Also, the cursor is a white arrow that easily gets lost when the background color is white (it never used to be this way -- it was a black cursor before). If I knew how to easily take a screen snapshot in X11 with XFree86 I would do so for demonstration of the problem at hand. Is this a problem with Windowmaker not changing to reflect changes in other ports? Can anyone recommend a nice window manager to use in the event that Windowmaker is essentially deprecated? Much thanks, T.
