font problems

[dr_spork]

I'm having problems with Chinese font display on an English Ubuntu 7.04 Fiesty system. In a word processor or other application where I can control the font, I have no problems, but when it's configured by the system, I get ugly looking aliased fonts in any size below 18pt. I need to reconfigure it so that the system just uses the good-looking fonts instead of the bitmap fonts. What font configuration file should I be editing to solve this problem? There are so many files to choose from. Is it one of the many files in /etc/fonts/conf.avail or is it in /usr/share/language-selector/fontconfig/zh_CN? If so, which file can I edit to change which font displays small Chinese characters?

Does someone (who is using the native Ubuntu fonts and not MS fonts) have a dump of these files configured correctly that I could look at?

谢谢

I guess what you need is actually a good ~/.fonts.conf . If you do not mind, you can try out mine first. It is not that good actually, but bearable.

adding a ~/.fonts.conf didn't seem to affect anything.
