Linux Font Troubles
 

I am running suse 10.1 and i cant seem to get the fonts in firefox how i like them they are not sharp enough. So 6 cans of stella later ive been fiddling with them and made them 5 times worse, can some1 whose running linux tell me what fonts they are running in firefox or give me any hints how to improve them. cheers :)

You can get much better looking fonts if you install the Microsoft Core Fonts packages.

I don't use SUSE, but I did find this over at OpenSUSE.org...
