Default ms tt font behaviour

[Joao Inacio]

Hi,

I have noticed many people (me included) have "issues" with fonts in
linux (generally speaking), and specially when browsing the web.

Seen as there is the option to install ms tt fonts, be it by a
download script or by copying them from the other OS's Fonts folder,
it would be nice if these would render correctly:

Default behaviour is to use antialiasing, wich is a good thing except
on these tt fonts where antialising should not be used at certain
pixelsizes (even smaller for bold fonts) so i have altered my
~/.fonts.conf to reflect this.

Finally, webpages render as they were meant to!

I would like to ask your opinions on weather these settings should
exist on a ubuntu default installation, as they don't (at least from
my experience and knowlege) seem to interfere with any other fonts,
except the ones installed by the user (ms tt).

Basicly this would enable 99% windows-like look if the user chooses to.

Attached is my config settings (these may be a litle off, but seems to
work for me)

Note: default font rendering should still be with antialising, and
AFAIK there isn't any other configuration needed.


Thanks
