Hi,
Any experience with sharpfonts (Windows fonts) and KDE?
http://www.sharpfonts.co.cc/
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16824
1280x800 LCD, Intel GM965, nothing personal in /etc/xorg.conf.d
Fonts in System Settings->Fonts set in a generic way, like Menu: Sans Serif 9
At the moment Antialiasing: Disabled, Force fonts DPI: 96 DPI; curiously, menus still look anything but sharp.
I don't know much about fonts and how KDE is supposed to manage them. Any suggestion is welcome .

you are supposed to use MS fonts with this thing.

I am. ttf-ms-fonts are there. I have to tell the system (KDE?) first that Sans Serif is something like Arial Sans, haven't I? I don't know how.

setup exactly like that and restart KDE than you have really really sharp fonts
Vollständig == Full
and why do you need Microsoft fonts for that? I never experienced a difference between FreeSans and Sans

How do I get the dialog? Use anti-aliasing dropbox which I refer to is just System Settings->Fonts tab which isn't the same.

Lack of experience, most probably . Where can I get FreeSans, BTW?

Just install this package first
ttf-dejavu
it contains Serif, Sans and other Fonts
and than go there
KDE-Systemsettings --> Appearence (or something like that, where you setup the design/look of KDE) --> Fonts
There you can setup everything

for me sharpfonts config was only applied to ms fonts. All other fonts looked the same as before.

Sure. To put my question in a less misleading way: How do I make Sans Serif choice to mean Arial, for instance?

Hmmm than you maybe did something wrong. But its hard to do everything right with fonts in KDE. Sometimes you just miss a cheap checkbox and babam no setups gonig to be applied

Yes. The question about the misterious dialog remains unanswered .
