Is it possible to get the linux font to work in windows? Maybe it's just me, but I love the way it looks.
What font is the question? it may have been transferred over.al though i don't know it they use the same format but i doubt it.

Err...I'm not too sure on the name. The default linux font is what I'm after.

On what distribution of linux?

Any really, but if I had to get specific, I'd go with Ubuntu.

Thanks for your help but I'm using Vista and neither link helps me. I'll try to search for something else.

There's hundreds if not thousands of distributions by now, which use dozens of different window manager; they have accumulated handfuls of different default fonts over the years.

So, I'll assume you just used Ubuntu or something with Gnome.

Download this font zip, and extract all the .ttf files in the compressed folder into "C:\Windows\Fonts\"

Then, go to Display Properties under the Appearance tab (Windows key + R , type "control desk.cpl,,2" , press OK) press the "Advanced" button and go through everything and change the fonts to "Bitstream Vera Sans." Modify the size to your liking, and away you go.

Do you mean the font rendering? The "smooth" look of the fonts? I don't believe Windows supports that type of font rendering.

Is it possible to get any version of Linux Ubuntu theme on a Windows Vista computer? I have seen a lot for Windows XP but none for Vista =(.
In response to DisturbedSixx
On the whole the theme format is incompatible, so you're essentially waiting on someone to port it.
