Pimp out your Fonts for Linux
One of the major things that people request here on Pimpyourlinux is for better fonts on Linux. I’ve done some research on the subject, and it is quite possible to make your Linux Desktop look great, even if you have a flat panel monitor.
To start off, you might have noticed that in Linux, your favorite Microsoft fonts might not be installed. For example, I know that when I was going to school, I would always use “Times New Roman” for my documents.
Microsoft has actually released their Truetype fonts for Linux, and I’ll show you how to get them. As well, for all of you laptop/flat panel display users out there, I’ll guide you through the process of getting ClearType like font effects installed in Linux.
