FC6 and Firefox fonts

Can anyone tell me which fonts I should use for Fedora and Firefox to get the optimum readability? The default Sans fonts for FC6 don't look too good.

Personally, I went with this guide for fonts.....

Maybe that will help you.

Have you tried the RedHat Liberation fonts?

Hello:
This may also help your look and feel.
Check your /Preferences/Fonts/Details and see what your Resolution XX dots per inch says ?
I think the default is 96 ? although I could be mistaken.
Then from a terminal type
xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dot
and see what the resolution is there ?

It should agree
In my case it is 96x96

If it does not agree, you can add the following to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
Under the Section "Device"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"

Save, then Ctrl Alt Backspace to restart your Xserver and run
xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dot
