Hello, I made some experiments about possible replacement for the default user interface font in CDE.
I gave Roboto font a try (this is the new font for the Android phones), and it looks acceptable to me even without XFT and antialiasing. Here are the screenshots: http://saper.info/files/cdesktopenv/screenshot/roboto/roboto-dtlogin.png http://saper.info/files/cdesktopenv/screenshot/roboto/roboto-desktop.png I have used "Roboto Light" version for the user interface and regular Roboto for the dtgreet banner ("Welcome to radziecki"). Attached please find two configuration files for testing: 1. Xresources should go into /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources 2. fonts.alias should replace /usr/dt/config/xfonts/C/fonts.alias In my opinion it looks even better than TrueType Lucida Sans I was using before. After installing Roboto in your system please make sure it is included on the X server font path, for example in my system I have this in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/fonts/" FontPath "/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/oblique-fonts/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Droid/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Roboto/" FontPath "built-ins" EndSection One advantage is that we could bundle this font with CDE (it is freely licensed!) and thus achieve consitent look across all platforms. Even users wouldn't need to change X server configration in any way. //Marcin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
