Hi,

I have installed the ms-ttf-20020306nb1, freetype-lib-1.3.1
and mkttfdir-1.2.1 packages, run "mkttfdir --freetype" in
/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType (i.e. where the TT fonts
were installed) and added this directory to the FontPath in
the "Files" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config (the "freetype"
module is loaded, too).

However, some fonts (e.g. the aliasmonotype ones) seem to
ignore scaling. See for example

which looks good and

    http://www.jetzweb.de/ingolf/fonts/aliasmonotype-arial-12.png
    http://www.jetzweb.de/ingolf/fonts/aliasmonotype-arial-64.png

which have the same size.

Do you see the same results? Did I mis-configure my X server?
Should I have expected these results?

Regards
    Ingolf
