Thanks Jack, now how do we get these fonts to render like they do in Windows? Segoue UI is a beautiful font in Windows but looks horrible in Limux. I’ve tried many different settings in FreeType and even a couple of scripts but fonts still look bad. Please help.

no problem. I’m still a bit of a Linux noob but I do have useful ideas sometimes :)

Thanks for your linux articles, btw, they’re very useful (I’m using Xubuntu/E16 because of your posts on Enlightenment)

the quickest way would probably be to make a single /Fonts folder somewhere and then use fstab to mount it to the ~/.fonts folder in each user’s Home directory, that should work, right? (I’m pretty sure you can mount folders to multiple locations)

That way, instead of putting them in each user’s ~/.fonts folder, you just put it in your master folder and it’s done automatically
