Display Microsoft fonts like on Windows

[Hairy_Palms]

nice howto, definately changes the font, im just confused though lol i genuinely cant decide if i like it better before or after

[madscience]

I think I liked it better before, on my laptop's LCD... could someone give me a hand to revert to the original config files... (ie post their's)?

Thanks.

Thanx for configs. Tried with Kubuntu 6.06 Desktop(Live) CD on laptop - worked perfectly.

To revert, erase the file local.conf

Firefox is the only application that doesn't take this configuration into account, and uses antialiasing for all fonts at any size. Does some one know how to solve this problem? I tried this setting in the about:config options:

font.antialias.min = 20

Which had no effect... Any idea?
Thanks,

yeah same problem here. openoffice.org is also ignoring these customizations. i dont use OO much so I can live with that. i do use firefox regularly and would really like to fix the fonts there.

Hmmm.... in Dapper I don't have a /etc/fonts folder. Should I create one?

Yeah, any help on "fixing" Firefox would be great! I also noticed that Yelp (if you go to System -> About Ubuntu) also anti-aliases that help despite AA being off in my Fonts prefs.

I have the same thing in yelp. There is one difference between what's happening in yelp and what's happening in firefox....the menu (ie file, edit,etc) is anti-aliased and the menu in yelp is not anti-aliased. I use thunderbird for email and newsgroups and everything looks great with that program.

Is there a bug tracker or wishlist at Ubuntu?
