Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.4.2-1.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

As demonstrated and explained on
http://web.mit.edu/jmorzins/www/palatino.html the URW Palladio L font looks
awful on X when hinting is enabled; the fix supplied on the same page is
trivial and works great.

Please provide this snippet in /etc/fonts/conf.d:


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- http://web.mit.edu/jmorzins/www/palatino.html -->
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
        <test name="family">
                <string>URW Palladio L</string>
        </test>
        <edit name="hinting">
                <bool>false</bool>
        </edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
