Hello
Here is how I did mine. Now I run beautifUl
anti-aliased system
1- Install LM8.0 with Xfree86 4.0.3
2- Copy the true type fonts from your windows/fonts
directory to your /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
3- Go to LookNFeel | Style and check the two options
that says
Apply Fonts and Colors to ......
Use Anti-Aliasing .....
4- Edit your /etc/X11/XftConfig and make sure you have
this line:
dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype"
also look for the line that says:
# Substitute TrueType fonts for Type1 versions
under this line change
match any family == "Courier" edit family += "Courier
New";
To
match any family == "Courier" edit family +="Arial";
5. Edit your /etc/X11/fs/config and do the following
change
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
To
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1:unscaled,
6 if you think that anti-aliasing is bothering you for
small font add these lines to your XftConfig
(mentioned in step 4)
match
any size > 8
any size < 12
edit
antialias = false;
Thats it. Hey, I am really newbie. I leanred this
after reading several articles and after spending time
doing trial and error. The above steps might not work
for you. PLEASE, BEFORE YOU CHANGE ANY FILE BACK THE
SUCKER UP.
