Hi, freetype has changed the default renderer from cleartype to
harmony. One of the consequences is that filters are not used anymore.
Another consequence is a strong recommendation to use slight (not
full) hinting. There has been some discussion regarding this change:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?52124. It's clear I don't like losing
legacy-filtering + full-hinting, but according to the screenshots
attached to that discussion it seems to be that the main cause of my
discomfort is the apparently inadequate way urxvt is spacing fonts
when using 2.8.1 renderer and not harmony itself.
This is my urxvt font configuration:
URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:size=10
URxvt.boldFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold
URxvt.italicFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Oblique
URxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique
URxvt.keysym.C-equal: command:\033]710;xft:DejaVu Sans
Mono:style=Book:size=11\007
URxvt.keysym.C-minus: command:\033]710;xft:DejaVu Sans
Mono:style=Book:size=10\007
And this is my fontconfig configuration:
<match>
<edit name="dpi"> <int>96</int> </edit>
<edit name="antialias"> <bool>true</bool> </edit>
<edit name="autohint"> <bool>false</bool> </edit>
<edit name="hinting"> <bool>true</bool> </edit>
<edit name="hintstyle"> <const>hintslight</const> </edit>
<edit name="rgba"> <const>rgb</const> </edit>
<edit name="lcdfilter"> <const>lcddefault</const> </edit>
</match>
What do you think?
Best regards
