I just use the msft core fonts. Set it up just like in windows since most websites use windows fonts

What he said.

The core fonts plus whatever Firefox wants to use. Generally don't touch it after that.

I don't change the default fonts. They're good enough for me

That is bad coding. A good web developer would have a font list, with a generic font at the end. Like:



font-family:arial,sans-serif;

Likewise, except in Epiphany, and I force all sites to use them.

I have always liked FreeSans, so I have that for both the internet and the system in general. Tried the MS ones a while ago, but I don't like them on Linux. They make me feel dirty! :D

I use the Liberation fonts from redhat across most of my system, along with the bytecode-enabled fontconfig library.
Very sharp, crisp, and clean.

I only changed the "Default" font (the one that displays when no font is assigned by the page) because Times just doesn't look good (made it sans-serif)

Same here. DejaVu Sans as default font, and then I let websites choose whichever the hell font they want.

The default fonts are fine as far as I'm concerned.

I've played around with these sort of settings in the past, however following endless upgrades, reinstalls etc I've got back to the stage where I now change very little.

At home and work I use countless machines and I've found that working as close to the default settings as possible just makes things easier, even though I have a separate partition for my /home and can keep all my settings.

:cool:

i use baekmuk headline, for everything, these days. it was annoying to me that firefox wouldn't use the font in the toolbars, but i finally figured out how to write the userChrome.css file to make it.

the two lines with CFGI... show the differences, the top one is MgOpenCanonica and the bottom Luxi Sans :)
