Hello, I installed Awesome Wm on ubuntu 12.04 and I am having some problems with font rendering (suprise surprise :))
I am running awesome like this in my .xinitrc: gnome-settings-daemon & nm-applet & gnome-power-manager & gnome-volume-manager & eval `gnome-keyring-daemon` exec awesome The problem is that not all applications have decent font rendering. When I am using emacs in gnome shell, I get nice fonts, but when I am using it in awesome wm, no anti-aliasing is used and the text is almost unreadable if you are used to the standard ubuntu font rendering. The same happens with terminator and gnome-terminal. Firefox on the other hand, renders web site fonts properly, but the top menus and context menus (drawn with gtk (?)) are also using very ugly font rendering. I tried using the ~/.fonts.conf file referenced in the wiki, and it does improve a bit, but not by much and not in all applications. I also tried using the following .Xresources: Xft.antialias: true Xft.hinting: true Xft.hintstyle: hintlight Xft.rgba: rgb But apparently nothing changed. Is it possible to configure awesome to always use the same font rendering as gnome-shell is using? Thank you very much for your help. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
