URGENT: Ugly fonts on wiki Pl help
« on: November 07, 2010, 05:17:28 AM »
Hi,

I wanted to run linux urgently on a Desktop PC for browsing. I downloaded current Tinycore iso, burnt a CD and running it. I installed Opera and went to Tinycore Linux wiki. The font rendering is so ugly that I can't read anything. Please tell me which fonts to install.

according to the opera info file:
Quote
      If you want Truetype fonts, install some and
      fontconfig-2.6.0.tcz. That's it, Opera will
      now use them by default over bitmap fonts.

A search for "ttf" or "font" should give many.

dejavu-fonts-ttf.tcz
liberation-fonts-ttf.tcz

etc
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
