| Fonts OK, I have the TTF fonts installed, but everything still looks like crap. Does anyone have any good font settings going for KDE and Mozilla?

| Mozilla RC2 and final has had the TTF font support stripped out of it, 'cos the Gecko engine crawled trying to render them. Your best bet for that is to turn on font anti-aliasing and pray you don't need to use the shell. KDE 2.2.2 (wot I have) looks alright using TTF Helvetica 10pt.

| I'm using KDE 3.0.1 and it looks absoluetly beautiful with TTF fonts. However, all of the browsers (except Lynx  ) look horrendeus.Oh, yeah, they all can't handle tables for beans either.

| Mozilla handles tables just fine, but has pretty nasty fonts. Konqueror and Opera handle fonts just fine, but have pretty nasty tables. Don't even ask about N6

| Agreed, Mozilla did seem to get most of the tables right. I wish someone would just do a copy of IE for Linux; kind of like XMMS/Winamp.

| IE works fine using the latest version of Wine. Problem is that you end up inviting all the security holes IE provides into your linux machine... at least it can only mess up the "fake_windows" directory
