[gelöst]: Wie komm ich ohne Windows an die "tahoma&quot

Installing the fonts
We will use the Microsoft Core Fonts. You should get them from YaST Online Update, the SuSE update manager.
The fonts are: Andale Mono, Arial, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Times New Roman, Trebuchet MS, Verdana and Webdings. Andale and Courrier are monospaced fonts good for your terminal apps. Georgia is great as the standard font for your web browser. Its italics are way better than Times New Roman.(try it out on slashdot.org and you will see what I mean) Another Microsoft font called Tahoma is fantastic at small sizes. But unfortunately, it is not available in the Microsoft Core Fonts. It has a perfect rendering for small text, so it is nice for the standard KDE font, file explorer, buttons, menu, taskbar and so on.

To use it legally, you need to have a licensed Windows system. You can then import it from your Windows partition if this is on the same computer or from a floppy, an USB-key...

It is really easy to import. Simply go the KDE control center --> System Administration --> Font installer --> Administrator Mode (you will need to privide the root's password) --> Add Fonts.

Then browse to the location of the fonts, (the Windows partition, floppy, USB-key, ...) and add both tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf

If you are unsure about the legal stuff then use Verdana as your standard system font. It has great screen rendering at small sizes. On 96x96dpi a size of 9 is good.

Now, we will need to restart the X session. To do it, press on CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE, or Log Out.
