 |
|
Hello,
I've got my desktop completely tuned to my needs, except for the fonts,
which (in my opinion) are really ugly.
Now I want to know if I can use the fonts from my windows installation
in my Gentoo system.
If so, where do I put them?
Greetz,

Hi,
yes you can. Simply copy them to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/somedir, then add the path to your /etc/fonts/local.conf file like this: | Code: | | <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/somedir</dir> |
and then type as root
That should be it. |

| Code: | | emerge ttf-bitstream-vera |
Also a bunch of "free" M$ fonts should be installed after building Xfree but the Vera fonts are better imho. |
