firefox to look good, configure fonts

[shibainucan]

A small quick fix will greatly improve the look of firefox.

Go to edit>preferences>general>fonts & colors

where it says, serif, select 'Bitstream Vera Serif'
where it says, Sans-serif, select 'Bitsteam Vera Sans
where it says, Monospace, select 'Bitsteam Vers Sans Mono'

To improve Firefox, some people recommend installing the package mscorettfonst. However, this package makes extensive changes to your system. It puts Microsoft fonts everywhere (not just in Firefox). The Bitstream are as good or better and don't mess with your system. Try it. You'll see. You can always reverse the changes if you don't like what you see.
