You wouldnt happen to be an ATI driver guru, now would you?

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. :mrgreen:

I cant not get smothered fonts.

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. :)

nah i meant i wasnt using this method and wasnt using the posted .fonts.conf, thats all. 8-)

i was just throwing out another option

The text wont allow me to rename the file
when I rename the file to ".fonts.conf" the file gos back to the original format /name

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
