Thread: Linux fonts crisp as Windows (Ubuntu 6.06)?

So you wanne make your fonts look as pretty as the attached image ?

Here is how... (PS Only works if you have already installed Automatix mentioned above.)

Choose the fonts like in my image :



Then go to > System > Preference > Font > Font Rendering : "Choose Monochrome" > Details > Smoothing "Choose None" > Hinting : "Choose Full" (Also make sure dpi is set to 96)

Nice Going !

No we need to fix set the dpi in /ect/X11/xorg.conf

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

DPI SIZE
Add the following under "Monitor" section (Un-comment the one you will use by removing the first "#"):

Code:

#    DisplaySize    270    203    # 1024x768 96dpi
#    DisplaySize    338    254    # 1280x960 96dpi
#    DisplaySize    338    270    # 1280x1024 96dpi
#    DisplaySize    370    277    # 1400x1050 96dpi
#    DisplaySize    423    370    # 1600x1400 96dpi

Reboot, or restart X

Check to make sure your dpi is 96 by typing in the following,

Code:

xdpyinfo | grep dimensions

you can also check pixel size if it looks ok and compare it with sizes given above at DPI SIZE.

Code:

xdpyinfo | grep resolution

Thats it, enjoy !
