Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit font beautification (use wenquanyi micro-black)

After Ubuntu 14.04 is installed and upgraded, it turns into a very ugly font. After one night yesterday, I finally got a clue and sorted it out here.

After online research, everyone agreed that the use of the open-source library wenquanyi micro-black font is ideal, and even the effect is not lost to the windows platform font. Next I plan to beautify Ubuntu 14.04.

1. Install the wenquanyi micro-black Font Library
Sudo aptitude install ttf-wqy-microhei

2. Install the UI beautification tool. Select ubuntu-tweak and download the latest deb package from the official website. Double-click it to install it.

Http://ubuntu-tweak.com/

After the installation is complete, install ubuntu tweak in the Software Center, go to the adjustment-> font library, and modify the default font and desktop font. This is my current configuration

Here is the Ubuntu font, because it is better than the wenquanyi micro-black font, so I use this font as the default English font. Of course, you can also use other interface tools to make adjustments, such as installing $ sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
You can also set it.

3. Confirm and modify the font configuration file.

Generally, Ubuntu font files are stored under/usr/share/fonts, And the font configuration file is placed under/etc/fonts.

Ubuntu's control over Chinese fonts is concentrated in one file,/etc/fonts/conf. d/69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf,


Sudo gedit/etc/fonts/conf. d/69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf
Modify as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"><fontconfig>    <match target="pattern">        <test name="lang">            <string>zh-cn</string>        </test>        <test qual="any" name="family">            <string>serif</string>        </test>        <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong">            <string>WenQuanYi Micro Hei</string>            <string>AR PL UMing CN</string>            <string>AR PL UMing HK</string>            <string>AR PL New Sung</string>            <string>WenQuanYi Bitmap Song</string>            <string>AR PL UKai CN</string>            <string>AR PL ZenKai Uni</string>            <string>HYSong</string>        </edit>    </match>     <match target="pattern">        <test qual="any" name="family">            <string>sans-serif</string>        </test>        <test name="lang">            <string>zh-cn</string>        </test>        <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong">            <string>WenQuanYi Micro Hei</string>            <string>Droid Sans Fallback</string>            <string>HYSong</string>            <string>AR PL UMing CN</string>            <string>AR PL UMing HK</string>            <string>AR PL New Sung</string>            <string>AR PL UKai CN</string>            <string>AR PL ZenKai Uni</string>        </edit>    </match>     <match target="pattern">        <test qual="any" name="family">            <string>monospace</string>        </test>        <test name="lang">            <string>zh-cn</string>        </test>        <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong">            <string>WenQuanYi Micro Hei Mono</string>            <string>Droid Sans Fallback</string>            <string>HYSong</string>            <string>AR PL UMing CN</string>            <string>AR PL UMing HK</string>            <string>AR PL New Sung</string>            <string>AR PL UKai CN</string>            <string>AR PL ZenKai Uni</string>        </edit>    </match> </fontconfig>

Note that micron black requires binding = "strong ".
In this way, Ubuntu is the default English language, and wenquanyi micron black is the default Chinese language. Even if the Browser contains CSS-style text, it also has a good display effect. Ideal results.

After the font is changed, you can see the effect without restarting it.
