gnustep-back for Debian
------------------------
GNUstep back performs antialiasing for text by default. If you want to turn
off antialiasing, type:
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:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSFont 'DejaVu Sans'
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSBoldFont 'DejaVu Sans-Bold'
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSUserFixedPitchFont 'DejaVu Sans-Mono'
The GNUstep backends are managed via the alternatives system, but
can always be set per user with
defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackend libgnustep-<backend>
where <backend> is either cairo, headless or xlib. Note that the
headless backend is suitable only for testing purposes and the xlib
backend is deprecated.
The FreeFonts are not as well-suited as the DejaVu 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
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:
defaults delete NSGlobalDomain NSFont
defaults delete NSGlobalDomain NSBoldFont
defaults delete NSGlobalDomain NSUserFixedPitchFont
SystemPreferences from the systempreferences.app package is a GUI
application which can be used to edit nearly all GNUstep-specific
settings, including fonts and the default backend.
