Migration from Microsoft to Linux - O, the Joy

,----[ Quote ]
| So I finally made the plunge. I've long wanted to be part of that geeky elite 
| who broke from the crowd, stepped aside from their fellow computer lemmings 
| and took a different plunge - not off the cliff, but into an alien and poorly 
| understood (by the masses) computer operating system - Unix.

Liberation fonts for Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| I was reminded yesterday that just because I know something, doesn't mean 
| that everyone knows it. This time it was some friends who really didn't like 
| their current fonts in Ubuntu and OpenSolaris respectively. So, I suggested 
| that they try Red Hat's open-source Liberation fonts. To my surprise, it 
| turns out they didn't know about them.    
| 
| [...]
| 
| Most, but not all, Linux distributions now come with Liberation fonts. To see 
| if you already have them, just use your usual package manager, such as 
| OpenSUSE's YaST; Debian/Ubuntu's Synaptic; or Fedora's PackageKit manager, to 
| see if they're installed. If they're not, just grab them and let the package 
| manager install them for you.

| The first release is a set of fully usable fonts, but they will
| lack the fully hinting capability (hinting adjusts font pixelization
| so that the fonts render with high quality at large and small sizes)
| provided by TrueType/FreeType technology. That release is now ready.
| The second release will provide full hinting of the fonts, and that
| release will be available by the end of the calendar year.
