(mgp-users 00300) Re: Font Recommendations

[Carlos Puchol <cpg@puchol.com>]

for absolute best results i have this:

[01:52:04](2)spqr:cpg$ cat ~/.mgprc  
tfdir "/opt/fonts/ttfonts/all"
[01:52:09](2)spqr:cpg$ 

then, have ttf fonts in /opt/fonts/ttfonts/all

then,

in the header of your mgp file
do this:

%deffont "standard" tfont "comic.ttf"

and so forth.  comic sans ms is a good font
(from microsoft unfortunately).
