Hey,
Today I decided to install LMDE alongside my normal Mint 9 main edition. Everything worked out fine and LMDE seem crisp.
But when I booted back to Isadora I saw an annoying problem: my font rendering has somehow vanished! System fonts look overly sharp and pointy both in menus and documents (open office). I checked appearance->fonts and everything is just as it used to.
I can't figure out how LMDE installation could cause something like this. Only thing it chainged for my main desktop was the bootloader: I had BURG installed, it got overwritten with LMDE installation and now I restored it to Burg. But fonts remain these '90's look-a-likes.
This is especially annoying, cause I should be writing my masters thesis right about now, and I just can't look open office the way it is!
Can I restore antialiaising from some hidden setting or reinstall some packages?
Please be kind an let my get back to my thesis!
Thanks i advance!

Confused about what you mean by "alongside".Vidar wrote:Today I decided to install LMDE alongside my normal Mint 9 main edition.
Can you provide more information about how you set this up, e.g. is it a dual boot with a shared /home ?

Try to delete the font.conf file from your home folder and restart the system.
