Hi Vadim,
I just want to add this: If people are using FontDrake and Kde2 they must not
use settings mentioned above. These settings in /etc/X11/fs/config will screw
up fonts in Kde2 and you will not be able to choose any font.
After you copied your windows fonts to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/WinFonts folder and
run ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir your /etc/X11/fs/config file should look like this:
catalogue = /usr/lib/X11/fonts/WinFonts,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mdk
#/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
#/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
#/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/pcf_drakfont:unscaled,
#/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
#/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
#/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1,
#/usr/share/fonts/ttf/western,
#/usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/misc:unscaled,
#/usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/100dpi:unscaled,
#/usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/75dpi:unscaled,
#/usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/Type1
# in 12 points, decipoints
default-point-size = 120
# 100 x 100 and 75 x 75
default-resolutions = 100,100,75,75
and you will get beautiful fonts in all KDE2 applications (In Konqueror fonts
looks exactly like in MS Explorer). In Konqeror > Settings > Browser put
minimum font to 13 (or 14) and choose f.ex. all Arial fonts. Etc.
Regards,
