    Horrible looking fonts in Google Earth 6.2.1.6014 in Ubuntu 11.10

    I recently Installed Google Earth and I have found that the font rendering in Google Earth looks horrible and hard to read (look at the screen shot I uploaded). This is occuring all throughout the interface of Google Earth. I am still able to use Google Earth, but the text is difficult to read. How can I Make the text more readable?

    Try checking default fonts in advanced settings. If you do not have it, download it from the repositories.

    Check this:
    http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/h...6-2-on-ubuntu/

    and to make it look native:

    http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/h...ive-in-ubuntu/

    I would read both fully through see which route you want to go. That is a good site for any linux fan btw. the above fixed my horrific fonts.

    Good luck

    I installed The Microsoft Core fonts (lsb-core was already installed), but the fonts in Google Earth still look terrible.

    Is there any other way to fix this problem, or should I just remove Google Earth and try to live without it?

    The fonts look much better today (see attached screenshot). I guess I had to log out and log back in to fix the fonts.

    This thread will now be marked as solved.
