Font smoothing on Edgy Eft | Oct 27th 2006

I made a small update to the ever-popular post on this blog: OS X like font rendering in Linux.  The guide now covers Edgy too. Turner’s patches for Edgy are now available through a private repository. You can download it from here:

By the way, here is how my Edgy desktop looks now:

The icon theme is the ultra cool Echo from upcoming Fedora core 7 artwork. You can grab it from here. The GTK theme is clearlooks and the window manager is vanilla compiz.

  2. @Parry,
    You are better off posting this question in Ubuntu forums. When the installation stops at 80% press Alt+F1. You will see some error messages. Post your question along with the error log in the Ubuntu forums. Definitely you will get some answers.

  3. How do you go about installing that icon set in ubuntu? Did you simply use the command at the top of the page you linked to?

    Thanks!
