Comment #25 on issue 12179 by rich.felker: System font hinting settings are not obeyed http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12179
It's very important that fontconfig-based settings (fonts.conf) take priority over any other method of configuring hinting, antialiasing, etc., because only fontconfig offers the fine-grained control needed to work around fonts with broken hinting (which are essential to support for some languages!) while preserving the high-quality rendering of basic latin fonts like DejaVu. Please make integrating correct fontconfig support into webkit a priority! -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
