Fonts on Linux: A Rant
Jeremy is pissed off at Linux Fonts and he has all the reasons for it. I really don’t understand how difficult is it to get Fonts right without having to edit a dozen of config files. I do have my gentoo with nice anti-aliased fonts (even xterm) but I did have to struggle to get it right. Maybe this article helps (it sure helped me).
Jeremy Zawodny’s blog: Fonts on Linux: A Rant Why do these two applications use completely different fonts? And why does a third, using the same as the second, render things more like the first? I cannot figure out how to get Firebird to use the set of fonts that Mozilla is using. I can not figure out how to get Konqueror to render like Mozilla even though it seems to be using the same fonts. Hell, I’m not even sure where the applications look to figure out what fonts are available.
