The default font rendering in Linux distributions has always bothered me: so one of the first things I install on a new machine is the “Sharp fonts” configuration package to make the font rendering look more like Windows. However, I stumbled into a small problem when doing so today: the sharp fonts website domain seems to have expired.
Fortunately, I found a copy of the configuration files on one of my hard disks – download them here. Extract the files into /etc/fonts/ after installing the Microsoft TrueType fonts (ubuntu-restricted-extras, etc.), and log out to apply the changes. All done!
