[Fontconfig] Please check out my fontconfig XML file
To all Unix users, I''d like to ask you if you could test my fontconfig XML file. If so you need X.org/XFree86 (KDE/Gnome/XFCE, etc...). You need to have the Microsoft fonts installed (AKA webcore or webfonts) that Microsoft released for free a few years back. Then, you need to copy this file: http://www.auriance.com/docs/pcbsd/fonts/local.conf into this directory: - On FreeBSD: /usr/X11R6/etc/fonts/ - On Linux: /etc/fonts/ Then you need to remove this file (if you have one): /home/<username>/.fonts.conf Choose "sans-serif", "monospace" and "serif" accordingly as default for your desktop in KDE or Gnome. Log out and relog in to your desktop environment. Fonts should look just like on Windows. There are some browsers such as Opera on Linux, Konqueror that display fonts perfectly, just as on Windows: http://www.auriance.com/docs/pcbsd/fonts/ms-fonts.png Please let me know what you think about it. I''d like some feedback. We developped this for PC-BSD (www.pcbsd.org), a free operating system based on FreeBSD. Thanks, -- Charles A. Landemaine.
