Hello everybody!
The libfreetype6 package from plf repositories enables the MS core fonts
look the same as in Windows, but it does not allow the "Cleartype" look.
I found the solution by downloading libfreetype6, libxft2 and libcairo2
from PCLinuxOS repositories and by running this script as root from the
folder, where I've stored them:
*Code:*
#!/bin/bash
rpm -e --nodeps libcairo2
rpm -ivh libcairo2-1.4.12-2pclos2007.i586.rpm
rpm -e --nodeps libxft2
rpm -ivh libxft2-2.1.12-2pclos2007.i586.rpm
rpm -e --nodeps libfreetype6
rpm -ivh libfreetype6-2.3.5-1pclos2007.i586.rpm
and by adding to add this at the beginning of /etc/fonts/fonts.conf:
*Code:*
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintmedium</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
Liberation fonts look very nice after this, very similar to MS core
fonts with Cleartype enabled.
I'm afrraid that this is not a permanent solution.
Since I have no programming knolledge I wander if the PLF team can do
anything abuot this?
