Cyrilic Fonts is Puppy Precise

#1 Post by komarx6 »

Since I'm from Serbia, and I browse web pages with cyrilic fonts frequently. But some letters do not look as they should and they are to small. Is there a way to fix this? maybe to import font from ubuntu machine or something like that?

Thank you!

Please, read here first:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_fonts_for_the_Web
Find those core fonts in your copy of Windows or MS Office (or elsewhere) and copy them to /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF.
In that TTF directory, right-click 'terminal here' and run the following commands:

# mkfontscale
# mkfontdir
# fc-cache -fv

Restart X. That's it. Like them or not, MS fonts provide the best international support plus rendering quality. You can also do some search for free Cyrillic fonts:
