"Cleartype fonts"

Hello everybody!

The libfreetype6 package from plf repositories enables the MS core fonts 
look the same as in Windows, but it does not allow the "Cleartype" look.
I found the solution by downloading libfreetype6, libxft2 and libcairo2 
from PCLinuxOS repositories and by running this script as root from the 
folder, where I've stored them:
*Code:*
#!/bin/bash
rpm -e --nodeps libcairo2
rpm -ivh  libcairo2-1.4.12-2pclos2007.i586.rpm
rpm -e --nodeps libxft2
rpm -ivh libxft2-2.1.12-2pclos2007.i586.rpm
rpm -e --nodeps libfreetype6
rpm -ivh libfreetype6-2.3.5-1pclos2007.i586.rpm



and by adding to add this at the beginning of /etc/fonts/fonts.conf:
*Code:*
<fontconfig>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
   <const>rgb</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
   <const>hintmedium</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>



Liberation fonts  look very nice after this, very similar to MS core 
fonts with Cleartype enabled.

I'm afrraid that this is not a permanent solution.
Since I have no programming knolledge   I wander if the PLF team can do 
anything abuot this?
