Basic font configuration is associated with the fontconfig-config package.
To configure fonts on the local system, run the following command:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
Fortunately, there are only three steps in this process. The first step refers to “Bitstream Vera (the default in Debian)” fonts. As Ubuntu Linux is a derivative of Debian Linux, this option applies to this book. Be aware that this option also supports proper rendering of Microsoft fonts.
The next step supports “subpixel rendering,” which optimizes the view of fonts on flat screens, including LCD and laptop monitors. Select Automatic if you use both LCD and older Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors.
The final step allows the enabling of bitmapped fonts. The recommended default is to disable such fonts, due to the quality. Make a choice and press ENTER to continue.Changes aren’t implemented until the next time the X server is started. They are written to files in the the /etc/fonts/conf.d/ directory. The services that run the X server use the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file, as well as related files in the /etc/fonts subdirectories.
Tested on ubuntu 8.04.1
