Akira, just taking a look at this bug after a long time. I still don't agree with your assertion. System-wide font config is important because apps like Firefox, LiberOffice and Chromium have their own font-rendering and that's directly affected by the systems font config and not the desktop environments own built-in rendering settings. This is also true of older X11 style apps like xterm. That's why tools like Fedy (http://satya164.github.io/fedy/) are so popular on Fedora. There's a feature to install the "Infinality" font-rendering package that fixes these issues: https://github.com/satya164/fedy/blob/master/plugins/util/font_rendering.sh If fonts on Fedora were properly configured out-of-the-box then we wouldn't need such tweaks just to get things to look right. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
