Hi everyone,
There are some fonts which I'd like to override for Arial. I have succeeded
doing that with Helvetica by adding the following in my ~/.fonts.conf:
<alias>
<family>helvetica</family>
<prefer><family>arial</family></prefer>
<default><family>arial</family></default>
</alias>
This trick does not appear to be working for "lucida sans" dans "bitstream
vera sans". I wonder why. Am I using the right syntax or is there a better
way to reach my goal?
Here are some pages I'm using to see if my preferred fonts are used:
http://www.gtk.org/faq/ - Uses helvetica by default. My override worked.
http://winehq.org/ - Uses bitstream vera sans, which I'm unable to override.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/ - Uses
lucida sans. I'm unable to override it.
I also have the impression my antialiasing settings aren't applied on lucida
and bistream fonts, ie the shouldn't be aliased since same size arial does
not get aliased.
Thanks!
