Is there some kind of movement to standardize fonts between Operating Systems, similar to something like the Open Document Format is trying to standardize Office Documents?
Btw: just Opera gets your linked sites right in Linux. You might contact the webmaster about that. In FF or mozilla they are really f****d up.
Just a followup note...
I have Suse 10.1 and SLED installed. I have Fedora Core 5 installed. I have Mandriva 2006 installed. I have PCLinuxOS and CentOS and the last version of Mepis before Mr. Woodchuck opted for Ubuntu installed. I have fiddled with the fonts on all of them and none render as crisp as Kanotix.
Maybe it's Debian or maybe it's Kano and friends or maybe it's a combination of both. Regardless, my fonts on Kanotix are every bit as good as the fonts on XP and somedays, they seem even better. And fonts are important to me because these 56-year-old eyes need all the help they can get.
