How to install nice X fonts in Debian quick and easily?
In the root console exec command:
apt-get install msttcorefonts
If the following error occur:
E: Couldn't find package msttcorefonts
you should add "contrib" section to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
and then execute - as usually:
apt-get update
and do again:
apt-get install msttcorefonts
Then select these fonts as default.
If you use KDE open Control Center then select:
Appearance & Themes then Fonts. In the right dialog select default fonts for each font type.
Appropriate font names are: Times, Arial, Courier, Courier New, Courier 10 Pitch, Lucida Typewriter
Done. Note that font settings take effect after restart of each application. You also have to select fonts for specific applications such as Firefox, Thunderbird, Kwrite, etc.
