squished fonts?

[Harland Yu]

Hi,

I'm new to this mailing list, so forgive me if this subject has been
broached umpteen times...

I'm running XFree86 4.0.1 with the freetype font backend enabled.  But,
my fonts appear narrower than normal (making it almost impossible to
read in some cases)...

I'd rather not use xfstt if possible, but it seems that it offers a
better spaced display than freetype.

Does anyone experience the same situation?


Thanks,

Harland
