You should install the microsoft fonts using YOU and the src-package for
freetype2 (ftp-server), then go to /usr/src/packages, decompress th
freetype2.tar.gz, uncomment a line in freetype.../include/config/ftoption,
or something different, that states BYTECODE_INTERPRETER, re-pack the the
files and rebuild the package with rpmbuild -ba SPECS/freetype2.spec and
isntall the package. You'll have as clear fonts, as in Windows if you use
TT-fonts.
