Use custom font on konqueror

Filed under: kde, linux — Tags: , , , , — Pedro Carvalho @ 1:57 am

There’s this really beautiful font i just love! Its Linux Libertine and has more than thousands of characters!

Since i’m studying japanese i’ve been visiting alot the wikipedia’s hiragana page ! and with their default font, for some particular characters, i was seeing alot of squares!

So after a while i figured out that it was the limitations on the font, and since konqueror really allows to overwrite the pages default font, i created a konqueror.css file with:

* {
font-family:"Linux Libertine"
}

and in konqi’s configuration’s Stylesheet i set it to use this.

restart konqi and all is bliss!
