Tahoma font with Windows look

[mirtux]

Hi,
sorry if this question has been already posted in a different way, in another thread but i've lost the way. I'm trying to get the same appereance in Ubuntu as i have in a windows machine, in particular regarding system fonts. I didn't find a way to reach this point.
I've seen just a screenshot representing, in linux, the thing i would like to have, but i don't know how to arrive to the same point.
Look here http://www.kdevelop.org/graphics/pic...DE_plastic.png. This is what i would like to have!


Some help ?

Regards,
MC

It must be possible in linux since the first link is taken from the Kdevelop site!

turn off AA fonts in Preferences -> Fonts

and

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts (with universal repo enabled)

then

Goto preferences -> fonts and select Tahoma under all the options.

that SHOULD do it

i didn't try it... i don't feel like changing the fonts on my computers sorry

I believe that MS uses 8 point for the system fonts.

The screenshot looks about 10. Maybe making the font size 8 migh help.
