Hi qole,

Easy debian is an astounding piece of work and is the reason I bought my n900 which arrived last week. Easy debian worked straight off the bat.

However I come to you with a problem but also a solution to the problem.

The fonts in easy debian suck! I've never worn glasses but felt that if I used easy debian with those fonts for any length of time, I soon would be.

I noticed that the fonts in the "beta" theme were the ones we needed, but on closer inspection it seems the "beta" theme is actually the digital nature theme of maemo and so is obviously missing things like scrollbars etc. so could never be used itself.

To cut a long story short, I've managed to combine the fonts of "beta" with the rest of the m/nightorange theme which has nice large scrollbars and tweaked the colours a bit as well.

Now I can use easy debian with nice lush maemo fonts which cause no eyestrain and make it the pleasure to use that it should be.

I'll post the instructions and theme here tomorrow, I'm posting from a PC now but will post from my n900 tomorrow to make it easier to attach files etc.

EDIT: see the post directly below this on how to install the theme and get those nice fonts.
