After many people have installed ubuntu, why is it so ugly? There are two main reasons for this: users used to use windows and are used to its gorgeous interface, or users don't know much about ubuntu systems.

Of course, for developers, they spend most of their time working under the terminal (without Xserver), and the requirements for the interface are much lower than the performance requirements. For users who use the operating system to surf the Internet or do other homework, visual requirements are higher, otherwise vista would not be as popular as it is now. However, vista is very demanding on the system, and although there are many optimization methods and simplified versions on the network, it is still not comfortable to use (personal point of view). On the other hand, the ubuntu installation disk has only one cd (also equipped with openoffice and other useful tools), at least not in the d version (so as not to violate the laws of the country).

So how to beautify the operating system after installing ubuntu? Most people who have used ubuntu will think of compiz and beryl.

The following is a personal experience in beautifying the ubuntu system (here is only about n-card, the operating system is ubuntu6.10)

Beautify the font first:

The font of Wenquanyi is recommended due to copyright problems.

Sudo apt-get install xfonts-wqy

Set font options (system-"* item -" font

If you insist on using ms fonts, you can use the following methods

Sudo mkdir / usr/share/fonts/msfonts

Sudo cp ms_ziti / usr/share/fonts/msfonts

(ms_ziti for your ms font path) (generally copy these: msyh.ttf msyhbd.ttf simsun.ttc tahoma.ttf verdana.ttf verdanab.ttf verdanaz.ttf tahomabd.ttf verdanai.ttf these are Microsoft Yahi, Arial, tahoma and verdana)

If you want to use the file manager, you can do this:

Sudo chmod 777 / usr/share/fonts/msfonts

Then you can use the method under widows to cp.

Next

Sudo gedit / etc/X11/xorg.conf

Add in the appropriate location

FontPath "/ usr/share/fonts/msfonts"

Then

Sudo gedit / etc/fonts/language-selector.conf

Add under the following 3 items

Microsoft YaHei

Bitstream Vera Serif

Bitstream Vera Sans

Bitstream Vera Sans Mono

Of course, you can also change the Microsoft Yahei to something else or add several more.

Sudo chmod 644 / usr/share/fonts/msfonts/*

(if you don't use sudo chmod 777s, you don't need this either.)

Sudo mkfontscale

Sudo mkfontdir

Fc-cache-fv

Cancel, re-enter X.

Set font options (system-"* item -" font)
