Hello Ubuntu users,

I get following problem, I cannot change the font in my installed Google Earth6. I would like to change the font, because the font is unreadable. I find in a forum that I can change the font in the following file: home --> .config --> Google --> GoogleEarthPlus.conf. and I read also that I set this entry:

[Render]
...
GuiFontFamily=DejaVu Sans
GuiFontSize=12
...
GuiFontWeight=70

in this GoogleEarthPlus.conf. Any changes in this file don't work, but the fonts with Arial work. Does anyone know how to change the font to a readable font, but without to use the fonts like Arial, Times Roman? I would like to use Open Source fonts for example Liberation Serif

I set the a picture in attachment to show you the unreadable font in Google Earth.

Regards Juergen.

You do not need to install windowfonts. More likely use this: sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi

To solve this issue, simply reinstall msttcorefonts.
I had this problem with 10.04 and I was going to get crazy looking on forums for a solution.

Finally it was more simple than I expected.

Cheers.
William.

Thanks baumtopf (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1264204). I'm new to Ubuntu and this makes it easier to wean from Windows. I'm starting to become a believer.
