Google Earth's Fonts Looking Bad

[davewithheld]

One of the posts on this thread suggested specifying a font on command line. I could not get that to work, but I found that

/opt/google/earth/free/google-earth -fn sans

does WONDERS to improve the look under KDE on F17. I actually edited
/opt/google/earth/free/google-earth and changed

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./googleearth-bin "$@"

to

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./googleearth-bin -fn sans "$@"

and all launchers and command line invocations now use it and look MUCH better. Hope this works for future fedoraites!
