Improve fonts archlinux
To improve the fonts in Arch we first need to add some additional fonts. Add the following to the terminal:
sudo pacman -S ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-inconsolata ttf-ubuntu-font-family ttf-dejavu ttf-freefont ttf-linux-libertine ttf-liberation
yaourt -S ttf-ms-fonts ttf-vista-fonts monaco-linux-font ttf-qurancomplex-fonts
Next we will disable bitmat fonts, which are used as a fallback.
sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d
Now we need to add the Infinality repo to our pacman.conf file. To do this, open the file with gedit (or whatever text editor your using):
sudo gedit /etc/pacman.conf
Add the following to your pacman.conf to use the infinality repo:
[infinality-bundle]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/$arch
[infinality-bundle-multilib]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/multilib/$arch
[infinality-bundle-fonts]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/fonts
Then uncomment the multilib on pacman configuration to download and install 32 bit package on 64 bit systems
[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Install the bundle:
sudo pacman -Syy infinality-bundle infinality-bundle-multilib
Finally, reboot your system.
