I installed MS fonts with KDE's Font Installer (administration mode) and have some problems. The fonts are not as clear as i would expect, but something else is bothering me, the fonts in any web browser, they are somehow strange.
Fonts in Firefox (bookmark bar, navigation bar,....) are huge. I can change this in userChrome.css, but is there another way to have "normal" fonts?
Here is a screenshot from OOo

And here is a screenshot from FF:

How it looks like in windows:

I added the DisplaySize 322 241, Option "UseEdidDPI" "false" and Option "DPI" "91 x 91".
I think that the DPI option does not work properly, because no matter what i write dowon it is always the same. But when i start x with "startx -- -dpi 108" for expample, the fonts are bigger, with smaller setting the fonts are smaller.
Am i missing something?
I would like to have the fonts like they are in Windows or even better.
Thanks for your help.
