Display Microsoft fonts like on Windows

[turbojugend_gr]

I also prefer mac fonts, and some Linux fonts, definately not MS ones, they are so ugly, well rendered but still so far from spontaneous...

FreeSerif is the Best font ever, no wonder all movie subtitles use it.

They look good, but not as good as the MS fonts at small sizes.

Done but got this error at the end...

comic32.exe: No such file or directory

All done, errors in processing 1 file(s)
dpkg: error processing msttcorefonts (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:

Hi all, Im new on this forum!

Calande, I've followed your guide on my edgy, but after login/logout nothing changes.
Is there something else to do, to get my fonts as in your image?

Thanks and best regards to all members!

Hi,

I installed your files and it almost worked very great. But last time I recognized some website fonts looking very terribly. After some testings i found out, that the bugs disappear, when I remove your files.

For example check out this page:

http://animeboard.at/index.php

Bug is tested on 2 PCs, using Dapper Drake and Edgy, with Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.0

It's something in the misc.conf in /etc/fonts/ Just rename it, and you will be fine. I will check why it's like that.

Ok I did change the misc.conf and attached the file.
Change:

<int>100</int>

to

<int>10</int>

<!--  Fixed spacing for monospace -->

<match target="pattern" name="family" >
	<test name="family" qual="any" >
		<string>monospace</string>
	</test>
	<edit mode="assign" name="spacing" >
		<int>10</int>
	</edit>
</match>

Test against this page if you like. before and after

@calande
You say that the fonts should go in to

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/

But the fonts are normally in

/usr/share/fonts/truetype

But I guess it doesn't make any different s
