Hi,
To display eye-pleasing Truetype fonts in Xorg, /etc/fonts/local.conf
needs to set few options:
- Anti-aliasing
- Hinting
- RGB type of LCD monitor
- LCD filter
The link (http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/subpixel.php) explains how to
identify RGB type of your LCD monitor.
Here is my /etc/fonts/local.conf file.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
