14.1 > System > webcore-fonts (3.0)

The Webcore Fonts package contains:

* Microsoft's Core Fonts for the web
* Microsoft Tahoma
* Microsoft's new fonts for Windows Vista
* Lucida Console

Before installing these, please remove "/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-liberation.conf".
That file causes Slackware to display Liberation fonts in the place of
Microsoft fonts. If you have Microsoft fonts, you don't need the
substitutions.

The following Fontconfig setting (taken from infinality.net) is recommended.
Put it in /etc/fonts/local.conf:

<!-- Globally use embedded bitmaps in fonts like Calibri? -->
<match target="font" >
<edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
