greetings

how do I add MS fonts?

 

and will doing so affect the speed of my computer?

I know in ms windows installing more fonts slows down the computer, specially old ones (mine is only amd athlon 700).

 

btw, i need to do so beause I'm viewing the text displayed in a weird way in webpages, hat i used to see perfectly fine from windows. I tried changing the fonts in linux firefox, but nothing happened! still weird, tiny elongated letters.

which webpages? most likely the fault is somewhere else (you don't really need windows fonts, probably something else is screwed)

 

p.s. This topic should be in the Software section of the forum

how can i make webpages display like it used to be in windows?

I was advised elsewhere to import MS fonts, i did that, but nothing changed

I went to firefox, preferences, fonts, but MS fonts that i imported are not there!!

(they are listed in MCC > fonts already, but not showing in firefox!)

 

I still see tiny weird font in webpages, hardly able to view them... please help me.

thanks.

btw, while installing firefox 1.06, i got this in the terminal window:

"(firefox-installer-bin:26503): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed topango_layout_set_text()

 

(firefox-installer-bin:26503): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed topango_layout_set_text()

 

(firefox-installer-bin:26503): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed topango_layout_set_text()

 

(firefox-installer-bin:26503): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed topango_layout_set_text()"

 

is that why I'm having problems with webpage fonts?
