Hi all

Just wondering if there is an easy way to set up Ubuntu so that
applications use anti-aliased/true-type fonts a la Mac OS X. I find
them much easier on the eye.

Am mainly running GUI (gnome/gtk/kde) apps remotely from Ubuntu 5.10
amd64 server via LAN and the X-window server on a Mac, if that makes
any difference (i.e. no Gnome desktop).

TIA

Michael

Ubuntu is set up with anti-aliased, true-type fonts by default, at
least in the case of GTK2 and QT applications. Moreover, those
applications use a client-side font configuration, so it won't
matter that you are running them remotely. Could you point us to a
screenshot of the perceived problem?. It may be that what you have is
as good as it gets.
