    Hi All,

    Last weekend, I installed SuSe 9.1 as my primary OS in my IBM laptop (So
    happy to got rid of XP). Installation went smooth (which I didn't
    expect)
    and within hours I'm using Linux. After, I installed firefox and
    thunderbird applications. Again, it went without any trouble. The only
    frustration part was font display. I had a hard time reading html pages
    in
    Firefox. So I did some googling and found suggestion to install TrueType
    font and enabling anti-aliasing. I did but still I'm not getting the
    look I
    get on Windows XP. Can anyone point me articles/direction to improve
    font
    look in SuSe 9.1? I don't want to go back to Windows XP.

    Dipak
