    Just had to add my thanks to this thread. There is a real improvement in the overall look of the fonts.

    Thanks for the tip and keep up the good work.

    to be honest i used apt-get install msttcorefonts
    anadale mono is the sharpest font to me. ive used it on mandrake, fedora, and now a new install of ubuntu and i like em. great for web browsing.

    I put the config on fonts.conf and local.conf buy nothing changes.

    You have to name it .fonts.conf and put it in your home folder, albersag. This is one of the reasons I prefer looking at an Ubuntu desktop rather than a Windows desktop on 1280x1024.

    try
    $ cp fonts.txt .fonts.conf

    that should do it for you. it copies file "fonts.txt" that was downloaded to your home directory then names the copy ".fonts.conf"
    then
    $ ls -a
    will let you see it - its a hiden file
    $ cat .fonts.conf
    will let you view it

    Wow! That's a neat trick. This works great in KDE on Warty. Thanks for that, my fonts have never looked so good.

    Cheers,
    Matt
