Finally a nice font configuration!

Thanks arch. From a nice Kde4 setup, non-laggy flash, to rolling release, to speed; I can finally add fonts to the list. I haven't been able to acheive this on any other distro (not that it's impossible).

Configuration: (from arch wiki)
- Cleartype configuration
- FreeType Auto-hinting
- Verdana 8 (system) Verdana 16 (firefox)
- dpi 96
- Sub-pixel Enabled, Full, RGB

What do you think?

They are too bold and fuzzy for my tastes, but what really counts is that you've gotten them the way you like them!

What does dpi 96 mean?

Personally, I'd rather be back in Hobbiton.

- Sup-pixel Enabled, Full, RGB

What do you think?

Those sup-pixels are really tricky.  I still can't get mine to do anything but say "sup?" every time I move my mouse over them.  Totally useless.  Glad to hear they're working out for you, anyway.

Re: Finally a nice font configuration!

@Arisna:  Was there an upgrade to sup-pixels?  For some reason, mine say "Yo!"  when I mouse over them.  Could you post your sup-pixel.conf for me, please?

The software required Windows XP or better, so I installed archlinux.

How about sharing with everyone else, how you achieved it?
