I recently did an update with apt and now all my gnome applications have non anti-aliased (or pixel hinting) fonts that look really ugly. Such applications as Mozilla Firefox, gparted and gimp all look terrible. My KDE apps however are not affected such as open office.
Is it possible to correct this using configuration files? I currently do not have the entire gnome desktop installed so i dont think i can access the gnome control panel? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have a LCD screen and these fonts look terrible on it. my ~/.gtkrc-2.0: gtk-font-name = "Tahoma 12" gtk-xft-antialias = 1 i have even exported exported antialiasing to be on: GDK_USE_XFT=0 my fonts.conf: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" > <const>hintfull</const> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/GTK-fonts-not-using-subpixel-hinting-%3A%28-tf2174950.html#a6013781 Sent from the Gnome - Fonts forum at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
