AAARGH! I’d forgotten the mockery of aesthetics that is “fonts in Linux.” Since I work with Classical Greek, I need to be able to distinguish otherwise incidental markings (e.g., whether an accent leans right or left).
Also, the ability to type classical Greek and use the extended Latin keymap is almost mandatory for work on web browsers. Fortunately, with LaTeX, I can produce beautiful documents with nothing more than a text editor (VIM, of course).
So we begin here for on our journey from serviceable legibility to joyous eyes.
I can’t recommend that guide strongly enough. Although I didn’t update all of my packages yet, it took a few minutes and now things are greatly de-uglified.
