Re: Improve Lucida font family look
Ok here's a different approach. Install this new file as /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-lucida-aliases.conf for testing. (I'll provide the full patch to have it installed, but since it involves autotool magic, the patch is going to be too large). This file replaces ugly bitmapped fonts with true type ones and provides reasonable aliases for the various lucida names that are found on the web according to Tobias' test. If you have real lucida fonts installed, they will still be picked up. !DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM fonts.dtd fontconfig !-- Provides alternatives for various Lucida fonts -- !-- Substitutions for ugly bitmap fonts -- match target=pattern test qual=any name=family stringLucida/string /test edit name=family mode=assign stringLucida Sans/string /edit /match match target=pattern test qual=any name=family stringLucidaBright/string /test edit name=family mode=assign stringLucida Bright/string /edit /match match target=pattern test qual=any name=family stringLucidaTypewriter/string /test edit name=family mode=assign stringLucida Sans Typewriter/string /edit /match !-- Aliases -- alias binding=same familyLucida/family accept familyLuxi Sans/family /accept /alias alias binding=same familyLucida Grande/family accept familyLucida Sans/family familyLuxi Sans/family /accept /alias alias binding=same familyLucida Sans Unicode/family accept familyLucida Sans/family familyLuxi Sans/family /accept /alias alias binding=same familyLucida Sans/family acceptfamilyLuxi Sans/family/accept /alias alias binding=same familyLucida Sans Typewriter/family accept familyDejaVu Sans Mono/family /accept /alias alias binding=same familyLucida Console/family accept familyLucida Sans Typewriter/family familyDejaVu Sans Mono/family /accept /alias alias binding=same familyLucida Bright/family accept familyLuxi Serif/family /accept /alias /fontconfig --- Cut here --- -- Matthieu Herrb

It also fixes his issue, and is less intrusive when one has real truetype Lucida fonts installed. Also luxi sans is closer to lucida in its design.
