is there a way to make thunderbird not notify me three times for the same one email? (one in "inbox", one in "all mail", one in "important" where everything seems to end up regardless)

@lafp oh yeah, just whatever works at multiple sizes and looks pixel-perfect. windows 98 could do it, i'm surprised linux (today) can't

so much for making old hardware usable again! (big fonts on 1024x768 are a pain)

@lafp ohh these are cool!

i think what i mean by "bitmap fonts" though is more "ttf that has pixel hinting so i can use it without antialiasing" - something that modern linux seems to no longer support or care about (if i try to force antialiasing off everything looks broken regardless of if the font has proper hinting)

turns out one of the hardest problems isn't p=np it's setting which fonts gtk apps use when you're not on a gnome desktop

@eblu (i have used linux in some form or another for over a decade)
