Hi,
This is only a minor problem, but I thought I might as well find a
solution.
I took great pains to install fonts from an existing Windows XP install
(free as in beer :) ). Simply copied over all .ttf files to
/usr/share/fonts/ms-cannibalized and then ran fc-cache -f -v.
Now there seems to be one TTF font missing, and I *think* it's
Helvetica. I have all my mail on an IMAP server, and depending on the
machine I'm on (I'm often switching machines in my job), I'm using
Thunderbird or Evolution to access my mail... or, sometimes a webmail
access. Now on this interface fonts are not very pretty. Just take a
look: http://www.kikinovak.net/screenshots/uglyfonts.png
Any idea about the missing font? Helvetica? Any idea how I could either
get that (seems non-free) or maybe replace it in Firefox by some free
font that does the job as well?
Cheers,
Niki
