Hi,
I installed media-fonts/roboto from asux overlay and configured
/etc/fonts/local.conf as follows:
<?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>hintslight</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<test qual="any" name="size" compare="less">
<double>9.0</double>
</test>
<edit name="size" mode="assign">
<double>9.0</double>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<test qual="any" name="size" compare="less">
<double>10.0</double>
</test>
<test qual="any" name="family">
<string>monospace</string>
</test>
<edit name="size" mode="assign">
<double>10.0</double>
</edit>
</match>
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<default>
<family>Roboto</family>
</default>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<default>
<family>Roboto</family>
</default>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<default>
<family>Monaco</family>
</default>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
And these are the symlinks in /etc/fonts/conf.d -
10-autohint.conf 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf 11-lcdfilter-default.conf
49-sansserif.conf 50-user.conf 51-local.conf 66-lohit-hindi.conf
66-lohit-marathi.conf
But I'm facing a weird issue with the Roboto font. It matches by default
to Roboto Medium, but I don't want that. Titlebar, Menubar and Toolbar
texts look bold. Even the mail list in Thunderbird looks bold so I can't
distinguish between read and unread mail easily.
$ fc-match Roboto
Roboto-Medium.ttf: "Roboto" "Medium"
How to fix this? There are no user configuration files and I have
configured KDE to use default system settings (sansserif, monospace
families).
