    Hello Michael.

    Thanks for your reply, the quote of which I have edited as much as
    possible!

    On installation, SUSE loads the special L1510S driver - GSM LG
    ELECTRONICS FLATRON L1510S, which has the settings of 1024x768 @
    73Hz. Using the "nv" driver, I have tried all the different hinting
    settings and altered the dpi. No luck!

    Then I repeated everything, setting the monitor to use the generic LCD
    driver, but at 60Hz. Anything above 60, gave me an "out of range"
    error message. Same!

    Next was a repeat of everything using the standard VESA, trying
    settings of 1024x768 at 75Hz, 70Hz and 60Hz. No!

    I then installed the NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA site, using YaST,
    and repeated all I had done with the nv driver. The fonts still
    looked bad. (Fuzzy edges and the loops in "e" and "a" filled in).

    So, I will have to keep trying.

    As I wrote to Bandipat, I use (or have tried), several other distros,
    and SUSE is the only one which gives me font trouble.

    I wonder if version 10 has better fonts?

    Cheers

    Keith
