Calum:
hideho, me again, just to let you know about this page here which has a nice little tutorial about anti-aliasing fonts in linux.
hope it helps somebody!

oh, and here's a slightly more adventurous looking one too.

i've been trying to come to grips with the fontage, but no luck. i must be thick.  
quote:Make sure you have TrueType fonts turned on in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. It would be under the "Module" section listed as "Load freetype" (I think this is necessary, I didn't actually read any docs).
--- End quote ---
i have a XF86Config file (no -4) and could not find any relevant section. is there some howto-for-dumbasses available that any of you know about? i would really like to make the fonts work. Once i get my fonts in there and so on, will my apps, (openoffice, and so on) automatically use those fonts?

voidmain:
Calum, you must be running an older distro with XFree 3.x.  The XF86Config-4 is for XFree 4.x servers.

choasforages:
when i installed 500+ fonts from windows i just used the kde font tool in the control panel
