[gentoo-user] Ugly fonts on some seb sites
Recently freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net/) updated its look and now I find the fonts very hard to read. It seems like they are not being rendered with anti-aliasing. Linux Journal (http://www.linuxjournal.com/) seems to have the same problem. It makes no difference whether I use Firefox or Konqueror, the appearance is the same. How can I find out what font is being used and maybe substitute it with CSS? TIA -- -- Robin Atwood.

I have the same problem here. Tried Firefox, Epiphany and Konqueror-3.x.
Their CSS-file contains this line:
body {margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%; line-height: 21px; min-width: 960px; background:
#184860; color: #000}
Doesn't look suspicious to me.

I use DejaVu for all my fonts which usually makes most pages look very elegant but I don't think it makes a difference if the font is specified by the site. -Robin -- -- Robin Atwood.

Since you mention Konqueror I will assume you're using KDE. In the KDE control panel there is a GTK Themes Fonts section, and it has an option to use your KDE fonts in GTK programs. Try that if you haven't already.
