    Stick with Windows XP or OS X if you want a good looking GUI.

    Besides its much easier to config, no compiling or stupid font how-tos to get functionality that should be standard.

    Ya'll should consider using Windows instead. Fonts look pretty fucking fantastic in Windows 2000 and XP.

    I think it's amazing that Linux is being pushed as a desktop operating system when it can't display fonts to save its life. Pretty pathetic, if you ask me.

    Jus' a thought.

    If it's so horrid why don't you just leave?

    I happen to enjoy someone taking some shots when they find something that looks good. What I can't understand is why someone would take the time to rip on the entire community... while he's a part of the community. Go away.
