I just downloaded and installed Mozilla 1.8 in a fresh installation of Mandrake 10 Official. I couldn't find the directory for it's out-of-the-box installation of Mozilla 1.6 to install on top of so I put 1.8 in /usr/local/mozilla It has a bunch of ugly fonts and I need to know how to hook up the nice-looking sans and monotype fonts to the new installation.

You have to download a GTK2+XFT build of Mozilla, while the tarball from the official site is X11core build without font anti-alising and that's why you find it look ugly.

 

You can download precompiled GTK2+XFT build here:

Or, you can compile a GTK2+XFT build yourself:
