antialias font in Firefox under Ubuntu
How to stop using bad Microsoft© font under Ubuntu Linux in order to user nice anti aliased font under Firefox.
Just modify the /etc/fonts/local.conf
with the following code:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <!-- Miscellaneous settings --> <include ignore_missing="yes">misc.conf</include> <!-- Define alias --> <include ignore_missing="yes">alias.conf</include> <!-- Rules for Microsoft fonts --> <include ignore_missing="yes">msfonts-rules.conf</include> <match target="pattern" name="family" > <test name="family" qual="any" > <string>Tahoma</string> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="family" > <string>Verdana</string> </edit> </match> <selectfont> <acceptfont> <pattern> <patelt name="family"> <string>Lucida Grande</string> </patelt> </pattern> </acceptfont> </selectfont> <match target="pattern" name="family" > <test name="family" qual="any" > <string>Georgia</string> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="family" > <string>Georgia</string> </edit> </match> <selectfont> <acceptfont> <pattern> <patelt name="family"> <string>Century Schoolbook L</string> </patelt> </pattern> </acceptfont> </selectfont> </fontconfig>
Hope it helped someone who like me had his eyes crying in face of such ugly fonts.
