I have been using Ubuntu at home for over a year now and just love it..by far because of the way it looks..but unfortunately I have to use XP for my one work computer and have wondered for a long time if there is a way to install a font in XP that will give me the Ubuntu font look on windows?

After Buying a Router I have Internet connection to Ubuntu. I used to surf the net using Ubuntu when I was using my Mobile to Get Internet. But after Getting ADSL I switched to Windows because My Past Modem didn't work with Ubuntu. So I bought a router.
Now My Problem is Ubuntu fonts are Smaller and bit different in Web Browsers. I have both Firefox and Cromium in Ubuntu.
Now I want is to make Ubuntu Browser Fonts make similar to Windows 7 or Any Windows version.
I installed a Gnome Theme that Works like Windows 7 theme but it didn't change the Browser fonts so I removed it.
I'm trying to use the windows fonts on my linux machine. I've found a nice tutorial which suggests to change the dpi to 96x96 (windows default).
It seems that i'm not able to change the dpi. I've tried with sax2 => no luck. Manually editing the xorg.conf file => no luck. My dpi remain always the same. I've logged out even rebooted. Same.
# xdpyinfo | grep dimen
dimensions: 1600x900 pixels (443x249 millimeters)
# xdpyinfo | grep resol
resolution: 92x92 dots per inch
I've changed the dimensions to 423x238 mm. I should get a 96x96 dpi with these but no. After restarting, xdpyinfo shows the same old settings.
I've found a font that only comes in Linux and Windows versions, is there any way to install it on Mac OS X using either of these versions?
EDIT: I am open to format converting, but preferably with free software.
Is there any way to use TTF fonts for the screen (CLI not X-Windows)? I added a font in /usr/share/fonts/TTF and updated all font directories, and then issued the setconsolefont command, but my font is not there. Actually, I didn't see any TTF fonts in the list at all, even though there are already some in the TTF directory.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a folder with over 1500 fonts, I would like to move them to my /usr/share/fonts folder so that they can be used. Some are from Windows, some are just random extras. I've installed the msttcorefonts, but there are quite a few missing that make some wen pages look different.
How can I go about putting the fonts from my folder, into the appropriate /usr/share/fonts folder to be used? And how can I move them all? I can't drag and drop them, and mv FONT_NAME /usr/share/fonts for all of them will take a month or two. Is there a way to elevate my self to be able to just drag and drop them all? And which folder would they need to go into for them to be used in Chrome and Firefox?
I have used Ubuntu and Linux Mint for quite some time now until I got a new machine. Some friends told me to try OpenSUSE because it has really been polished over the last few years.Install went smoothly got everything working properly except for my video card. My video card is an ATI HD4890 with sound support over HDMI. I had the sound working in Ubuntu using the non-oss ATI drivers. I was wondering if someone could please teach me how to install them again here on OpenSUSE 11.3. My screen fonts and colors also look terrible compared to Windows or Ubuntu.
Is there a way I can make it look better? I remember CCC (Catalyst Control Center for ATI) had two color formats (RGB and YCbCr). I had to set it to YCbCr because my screen is an HDTV and it looked much cleaner than RGB. Is there a way I can acheive similar results with OpenSUSE?
I have just installed openSUSE 11.2 X86_64 on my laptop, I then used KDE to install lots of type 1 fonts for my printer. These get loaded to /usr/local/share/fonts/...These installed fonts are visible to KDE (KWRITE) and GIMP so I assume that the installation was O.K. When I start openOFFICE writer I do not see these fonts. The font selection appears to be the fonts located under /usr/share/fonts. I have not tried other ooo3 components. I assume that they are not going to see the fonts either.
I have searched google and it appears that /usr/local/share/fonts is the correct location for non-packaged fonts. Has anybody any idea what is wrong? I think I could move all the fonts to /usr/share/fonts and ooo3 would work but this seems to break the installation directory structure. I have considered symlinks but I don't like the idea of defining a font twice to Linux and creating the syslinks is more work than reinstalling the fonts if they are lost
1. What do I need to set all the fonts to in 11.04 to make them look more like W7 fonts?2. Is there a way I can improve the graphics in WINE? Some very simple games run slow. Is there a way I can change the cursors in wine.

...I have found that in MS word/excel that the fonts don't look right, even though it states they are installed. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this also. I have installed the MS fonts after following the guidance. Usually the fonts look thinner than they should. I have recently installed (wubi) 10.04 & haven't installed any office apps to see if it also happens now....I will note: This isn't limited to MS software. I see it happen with other software that requires WINE to use. So, I think it is a WINE issue. Has anyone found a resolution to this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala on my laptop (dual-booting with XP) and I would like to know if there is a way to install the fonts from XP onto Ubuntu. I have already copied them onto a flash drive, I just don't know how (or if it's even possible) to install them. I have already tried the Synaptic Package Manager thing, which helped get a few more, but I'd still like some of my old ones.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to find out how to install new fonts in ubuntu 10:04 in 9:10 it was easy (in file system create a new folder named .fonts that was it) in 10:04 that another story cannot create a folder in file system, then what?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI finally performed my upgrade from Karmic today, everything went smooth and looked great. I decided to check out how KDE looked so I logged out, went into KDE and poked around for a bit then went back to GNOME. All my fonts are now that horrible tiny KDE font and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to return the fonts to their previous glory.
Can anyone, please, point me in the right direction? I've totally removed KDE from my system, I took all the files out of ~.fontconfig and set antialiasing to false in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-antialias.conf but still no joy. I haven't found the settings to get back to default but I've installed the MS font pack which looks better than the KDE stuff

View 1 Replies View RelatedEverything looked great until I installed and then uninstalled Kubuntu desktop. Now the fonts in Chrome and Firefox look, imho, "bad". I installed the msttcorefonts but there is no difference. I've attached a screenshot, which illustrates the problem. It looks to me like the bold is too bold and the normal type is too thin and not spaced correctly.

How do you find what font a .pdf document is using, because some font formats I can past into Writer, but other's I can't. It tells me the font name in the dropdown, but it's not available. I will like to know the actual font file name if possible.
For example; I have one .pdf uses a combo of HCNXFY+TimesNewRomanPSMT and KFRPVS+TimesNewRomanPSMT, but when I intall TimesNewRomanPS.otf, TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT.otf, TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT.otf and TimesNewRomanPSMT.otf, I'm still not able to get the same format.
This means I'm missing a/or font(s). So, is there a app I can use to find what font(s) a .pdf is using?
I find when in Windows7 that the graphics and fonts look better. I've tried to configure Ubuntu to be just as good but can't seem to press on the right buttons.
