		<description><![CDATA[It has annoyed me for some time that when I print pages from Firefox on Gentoo my default printer settings were not recognised. However I didn&#8217;t spend any time trying to solve the &#8220;problem&#8221; because it was just an annoyance.

But recently I added a HP Color LaserJet to my office network and found that printing [...]]]></description>

As you know, although I use Gentoo personally, I also use Mepis on desktops. The fonts are not installable from packages on Mepis so here are the steps required to install them and set them as your default fonts in Firefox&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[While browsing recently I came across reference to the Redhat Liberation Fonts, and a number of favorable reviews of the quality of the fonts. Since they are genuine Open Source fonts I decided to install them on my laptop.

This was dead easy ad the fonts are installable with emerge&#8230;
