Why can't I upgrade to Kubuntu / Ubuntu etc
I honestly tried to switch from Windows to Ubuntu (and then immediately to Kubuntu) several times. The reason for this is my warm attitude to the ideology of Open Source, and the frequent praises of Ubuntu on the Internet, and in particular on Habré.
I installed the new OS three times, full of enthusiasm and faith in the bright future of Open Source. Understood immediately - after all, the interface there is convenient and clear. True to me, as a Windows user, it seemed that Kubuntu was a bit loaded, but made allowances for the fact that you can quickly get used to it.
Everything was fine, until I opened my favorite FF or another browser, and did not go online. God I did not see such a nightmare with fonts in terrible dreams. I work in the IT sphere, I develop websites, my view is worn out with soft, clear and smooth Windows fonts. When I saw my sites in Kubutu, I felt scared. All fonts of different kerning, different sizes, smoothing terrible.

I have been looking for a solution to the problem for a long time, izlazil the entire Internet. An interim solution was found - install Windows fonts (msttcorefonts). Of course, the sites began to look better. Fonts gained normal size, kerning almost became in place. But anti-aliasing remained the same. All my attempts to finally set up kerning and anti-aliasing were unsuccessful. My quivering soul once again did not perceive the unfinished Ubuntu fonts and returned me back to Windows.
My soul cry to Ubuntu developers and generally Open Source (the fonts in the Gimp are just awful!). Please do something with your fonts. Why do I have to take additional packages from Windows for a normal view (for a three-point minus) in a browser window? Why can not you customize the boxed version to such an extent that after installation and the first access to the Internet people do not stand up hair from the fonts? Please, we all want to use your programs, your developments. We love open source.
PS Thank you all for lowering karma. I received a lot of useful advice, and thanks for that.
