This is still a problem with Ubuntu Karmic! Ubuntu Karmic's font rendering is completely unbearable out of the box... Another issues that has popped up with Karmic is that Firefox 3.5 seems to ignore font rendering settings per user, and always uses system default. So even when I set hinting to full in my user account. Firefox still uses the crappy slight hinting...
Just remove: /etc/fonts.conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf -> ../conf.avail/10-hinting-slight.conf And link the following instead: /etc/fonts.conf.d/10-hinting-full.conf -> ../conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf And the problem is completely resolved. Such a trivial fix. I hope this will make it into Karmic Final. -- Fontconfig should default to full hinting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210921 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
