Icons - KDE

- get icons from kde-look.org

- put them in

* for a single user

~/.icons/new_icons_dir/

* for a global system setting

/usr/share/icons/new_icons_dir/

- select new icons

KDE Control Center: Appearance & Themes->Icons->Theme

Mouse cursors

- get mouse cursors from kde-look.org

- put them in

* for a single user

~/.icons/new_cursors_dir/cursors

* for a global system setting

/usr/share/icons/new_cursors_dir/cursors

- select the new theme

KDE Control Center: Peripherals->Mouse->Mouse Theme

- sync X cursor (visible on X login screen, in Firefox, etc.) with KDE's

# cd ~/.icons
# mkdir default
# vi default/index.theme

[Icon Theme]

Swap like RAID 0

# sudo vi /etc/fstab

/dev/sda2 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0
/dev/sdb2 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0

- if partitions are on different drives and maybe separate controllers, read and write throughput should theoretically nearly double

================================
Why was this conceived?

- some font families look better hinted by Byte Code Interpreter (BCI)
while other fonts look better hinted by Auto-Hinter
- hinting type affects italic and bold fonts differently
- antialiasing needs to be adjusted according to font families and sizes

Essentially, there is no one single rule that works for all fonts.

NOTE:
- Verdana @ 8pt doesn't render '2' and '6' right
- Arial shows 'Z' distorted in Firefox 1.5

Make font sizes match the dpi set in Xorg.

Increase or decrease this value if fonts are too small or too large
for your screen resolution.

FIXME: this only affects QT-based apps?

Enable anti-aliasing.

This only works for outline and scalable fonts.
Bitmap and PostScript fonts do not get anti-aliased.

FIXME: is this correct?

Set sub-pixel order if not detected.

"X knows the sub pixel order already, and if this is enabled as well,
Freetype produces some very strange results. However, if you do still
have problems, consider (...) 'rgb' (the standard for LCD monitors),
'bgr' (unusual), 'vrgb' (vertical rgb, if you have a monitor that
has been rotated by 90 degrees[1]), 'vgbr' (as vrgb, but very rare)."

Sub-pixel hinting via BCI enabled by default if compiled in.

"Whole-pixel anti-aliasing does not represent a useful solution for
improving small point-size type. (...) By 'borrowing' sub-pixels from
adjacent whole pixels, we can fine-tune the placement and width of typeface
features with three times more horizontal accuracy then ever before!"

Disable anti-aliasing for select fonts based on size and style.

"The relationship of pixels to points depends on the number of pixels
per inch, which is typically some 'standard' value corresponding to
default screen fonts. For example, MS Windows has two standard sets of
screen fonts initially designed for IBM display systems: 'small' (VGA)
and 'large' (8514/A). 'Small' fonts are 96 pixels per inch, 'large' are
120. Macintosh systems render type at a nominal 72 pixels per inch, i.e.
one pixel = one point. Some display systems using scalable screen fonts
allow fine tuning of pixels per inch to suit user preferences."

# cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/custom
# sudo mkfontscale
# sudo mkfontdir

- add the new font path in X config

# vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/custom"

- rebuild font information cache files

# sudo fc-cache -f -v

***

# vi /etc/fonts/local.conf

Fonts - more TTF

- make a list of available installable fonts

# NEWFONTS=`dpkg -l 'ttf-*' | grep '^[up]n\b' | awk '{print $2}'`
# echo $NEWFONTS

- install all of them

# sudo apt-get install $NEWFONTS

***

- alternatively, install my recommended fonts

# sudo apt-get install ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-dejavu ttf-dustin ttf-f500 ttf-freefont ttf-gentium ttf-isabella ttf-junicode ttf-larabie-deco ttf-larabie-straight ttf-larabie-uncommon ttf-mgopen ttf-opensymbol ttf-staypuft ttf-summersby ttf-thryomanes ttf-ubuntu-title ttf-xfree86-nonfree
