Mozilla 1.7b Linux XFT+GTK build available
Greetings!
I've compiled Mozilla 1.7b for Linux with support for XFT fonts and GTK.
The binary is available at http://www.ingeniumatica.com/downloads/ ... k2.tar.bz2
Hope it may be useful...

I always create a new directory for extracting, so there's no need to include the first directory in the tarball... Sorry about that.

Oh well, either way, I can now use it happily, fonts look so much nicer!
I allways install the contributed RPM, I think it's not neither XFT nor GTK enhanced. What am I missng? Fonts look antialiased anyway.

Ummm... I never installed the 'contributed' build... I really don't know if it's XFT enabled... But once you alreday have it, why don't you try copying the XTF+GTK version to another directory and running if from there? This way, you can check for differences between each build by entering 'about:buildconfig' on the URL.

Great job, indeed!
But... I only want the navigator. How to get rid of the rest? Is it possible?

Mozilla is a suite of programs (several programs that share a common code base). If you only want the browser, you probably should get Firefox (check http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox ). Give it a try.

If you're using the installer, do a Custom install and deselect all components except Navigator.

Hey I extracted the tar.bz2 and recompressed it with 7-zip on windows. I got a 9.737.602 bytes file. The original bz2 was 12.763.075 bytes.
I took about 10 minutes and during compression 300MB of ram where in use. But totally worth it if somebody is on dial up. I think we need a linux port for 7-zip soon!!!

Somthing like http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/ ?
Oops!, sorry! It's a Windows-only application. Because it was on SourceForge, I assumed it would run on *nixes...
I'll check the source code, see if it can be easily ported...
EDIT: It can't. At least, not easily. It's a lot of C++ code...
