Preamble: I write to debian-kde as I am subscribed to it since a long time and I think that kde users are more interested in this subject that others. Please, tell me if I am wrong.
Philosofical problem: I read today that Microsoft doesn't offer any more its ttf for free. So I deinstalled the "mssttcorefonts" package. Now I am back to the situation where I was some months ago: ugly fonts. The small firm where I work doesn't need super extra fonts but good looking scalable helvetica (arial), times, courier fonts and nothing else. Anti aliasing for this three fonts would be a plus... These are rather basic needs, I think. And I think that XFree86, kde, defoma structure and so on should provide them out of the box. Is it so hard to obtain? Practical problem: I can I hack XF86Config-4, XftConfig, /usr/share/fonts and so on to obtain this result? Someone else did it already? Thank you very much for your daily help.
