How to have fonts as nice as in MS Windows?
 

I tweaked the fontconfig XML files so that fonts look like on Windows. This code is borrowed from PC-BSD. You first need to install the Microsoft fonts. Then download the xml files and extract the file into /etc/fonts/ as root:

Log out from Linux and relog in. Here's how your desktop will look like:

It's a lot more complex than disabling antialiasing at small font sizes :)
For those of us who like the Windows fonts :rolleyes:

id like to see but you cant really see the fonts in the picture

Sorry, I just updated ;)

hmm i dont see a huge difference.. or maybe mine are installed by default. ive never looked into configuring them, oh well.

thanks for updating it so i could check it out

blugh, I like the fonts that came with KDE much better than the MS-fonts, especially in firefox.

I like the Bitstream Vera family so as always it's about personal taste.
