Change the default of fonts in Ubuntu

Change the default of fonts in Ubuntu


As you should know by now, Ubuntu 10.10 comes with a new default font commissioned by Canonical and designed specifically for Ubuntu by the Dalton Maag type foundry.
I found the default setting a bit large for my screen and ended up settling on the following settings. Obviously it will vary depending on your screen size, resolution and of course eyesight!
  • Font size 9
  • Subpixel rendering
  • 92 dpi resolution
  • Subpixel smoothing
  • Slight hinting
  • RGB subpixel order
