gnustep-back for Debian
------------------------

GNUstep back performs antialiasing for text by default.  If you want to turn
off antialiasing, type:

 . /usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
 defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSFontAntiAlias NO

The DejaVu fonts offer good on-screen display, and support many non-Latin
characters as well.  They are probably the best choice for the default font.

To set these as the default fonts for a user, type :

 . /usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
 defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSFont DejaVu-Sans
 defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSBoldFont DejaVu-Sans-Bold
 defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSUserFixedPitchFont DejaVu-Sans-Mono


The Vera fonts are well-suited to on-screen use, and it is recommended
that you use these as your default fonts if you deal primarily with
latin-1 (West European) text.

To set these as the default fonts for a user, type :

 . /usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
 defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSFont Bitstream-Vera-Sans
 defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSBoldFont Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Bold
 defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSUserFixedPitchFont Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono


The FreeFonts are not as well-suited as the Vera fonts to on-screen use, but
they contain a lot more characters. If you deal with non-latin-1 text, it is
recommended that you use these as your default fonts.
Normally, you don't need to do anything to use these as your default fonts,
but if you have other versions of Helvetica or Courier installed,
or if you have changed the defaults previously, to set the FreeFonts as
the default fonts for the current user, type

 . /usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
 defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSFont FreeSans-Medium
 defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSBoldFont FreeSans-Bold
 defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSUserFixedPitchFont FreeMono-Medium


To reset the default fonts for a user, type :

 . /usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
 defaults delete NSGlobalDomain NSFont
 defaults delete NSGlobalDomain NSBoldFont
 defaults delete NSGlobalDomain NSUserFixedPitchFont
