I'm finding the ones there not really all that good for the things I want to do with GIMP and Abiword and other programs. I know this isn't a tech fourm but what are anti-Aliased fonts and how do they differ from other types of fonts and what can they do for me? I know that's a mouth full but I'm just looking for basic information not anything like how to install or anything I found the article in the hand book great for that. Thanks in advance for your help. Chauncey.
