### [ MS Sans Serif font ] (experimental)
For an authentic Windows 95 feel, you can use the original MS Sans Serif font. Create a directory called `ms_sans_serif` inside `~/.fonts/truetype/`, and copy over to this directory the C:\Windows\Fonts\micross.ttf file from any modern Windows computer (this font is titled "Microsoft Sans Serif Regular"). Update the font cache by running `sudo fc-cache -f -v`.

### [ MS Sans Serif font ]
For an authentic Windows 95 feel, you can use the original MS Sans Serif font. To do this, you will need a copy of the C:\Windows\Fonts\micross.ttf file from any modern Windows computer (this font is titled "Microsoft Sans Serif Regular").
#### Single-user install: ####
- Create a folder `ms_sans_serif` inside the `~/.fonts/truetype/` directory
- Copy `micross.ttf` to the newly-created folder
- Copy the file `Extras/99-ms-sans-serif.conf` to your home directory `~` and rename it `.fonts.conf`
- Update the font cache by running `sudo fc-cache -f -v`
#### System-wide install: ####
- Create a folder `ms_sans_serif` inside the `/usr/share/fonts/truetype/` directory
- Copy `micross.ttf` to the newly-created folder
- Copy the file `Extras/99-ms-sans-serif.conf` to `/etc/fonts/conf.d`
- Update the font cache by running `sudo fc-cache -f -v`
To set the main font for the entire system, open the XFCE settings manager > Appearance > Fonts tab. Set the "Default font" to Microsoft Sans Serif, style Regular, size 8.
##### **NOTE: This step will affect font rendering for the entire system. Only apply these settings if you truly want an authentic Windows 95 look and feel.** In the "Rendering" section of the Fonts tab, uncheck "Enable anti-aliasing", and set "Hinting" to any value except None. Set the sub-pixel order as desired.
To set the title bar font, open the XFCE settings manager > Window Manager > Style tab. Set the "Title font" to Microsoft Sans Serif, style Regular, size 8.
Finally, set the font for the Orage panel clock by right-clicking the panel clock, selecting Properties, then next to Line 1, change the font to Microsoft Sans Serif, style Regular, size 8. Inside the Line 1 box, add two spaces before and after the value in the box, to apply some spacing.
