    Fonts, fonts, fonts, I'm looking for a good time. Alien vs Predator. Fedora fonts versus Ubuntu fonts, for the glorious improvement of visual enjoyment of Linux. Reading is sharing, and sharing is caring. My latest OCS-Mag article has it all. Within the quantum uncertainty limitations, that is. Have fun.

    Thanks Mrk!
    Very good timing, as I'm on Scientific Linux since a week, and it has the same fonts weekness as Fedora.
    How do you set the line spacing to 110%?
    Is it a Gnome 3 thing?
    I'm on MATE here.
    I have enabled NUX repo in SL, and it has the Ubuntu fonts already.

    Regards,
    François

    That was in LO, you don't normally get multi-line text in menus.

    Ok, thanks.
    I've also installed Infinality, I didn't know about that, and it works great!
    I'm using this with the Noto fonts and get very good results.
