Just confirmed on 8.10 as well. It seems things have gotten slightly better.

[Bug 161058] Re: some ~/.fonts.conf settings do no override desktop-wide gnome settings (hinting style)
Tobias, what do you mean by cross checking with KDE? Qt's interaction with fontconfig and freetype is entirely different, and I don't really really think relevant to this discussion. I don't use KDE. Mingming, thanks for the interesting comment. If you apply this change, and you _don't_ specify a setting for a font in .fonts.conf, then does it get the setting in gnome-appearance-properties? The behaviour should be that gnome-appearance-properties specifies the default, and then users can use .fonts.conf to override this setting for particular fonts. -- some ~/.fonts.conf settings do no override desktop-wide gnome settings (hinting style) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161058 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 203824] Re: bad default aliasing for 'arial'
I'm actually not arguing it from a office app perspective. I rarely use Open Office, and that's not where I first noticed it. I noticed it looking at a page in Firefox. Whether preserving layouts or having good looking fonts in web pages is more important is just a matter of opinion. I think it's not something worth trying to get to some consensus about since its just the two of us (so far) on this bug, and it's a lose-lose situation anyways. But as if you say, in the default config, the goal of 30-metric- aliases.conf isn't realized anyways, then I would say then that having those aliases is not worth the cost of every web page specifying arial looking like crap. Again, as I tried to mention before.. this also has to do with what hinting and subpixel rendering settings the users uses. Nimbus Sans actually can look OK if you use 'no' or 'slight' hinting with subpixel rendering enabled. The problem is that the default ubuntu setting is 'medium' hinting with 'grayscale' antialiasing, which makes nimbus sans look bad compared to the other fonts. -- bad default aliasing for 'arial' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203824 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 203824] Re: bad default aliasing for 'arial'
No, liberation sans is not hinted. The only good hinted fonts that are available by default are the DejaVu series and the Bitstream series (essentially the same font). I know about all the hinting settings, but that's not the problem here. The problem here is that the default Gnome Desktop is set to 'full' hinting. This in combination with Nimbus Sans getting used for all kinds of websites gives an ugly result. I'm don't think that having metric-compatible results should be preferred over having fonts that look good under the default settings. The difference in quality is quite striking. Given that OO and other programs have historically had problems with fonts, I don't think people have high expectations.. but if you make every site that specifies Arial look like crap, then you're going to get a lot more complaints, since there are a lot of them. Can metric equivalent aliasing be made optional? The real problem is that there different fonts have different levels of hinting, and there's no good default setting that optimizes all the different fonts. -- bad default aliasing for 'arial' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203824 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 203824] Re: bad default aliasing for 'arial'
It looks like it's this file: /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf That's causing the problems. If that file is removed, then everything goes back to the happy defaults from before (arial - Deja Vu Sans, etc.) I'm not sure what 30-metric-aliases.conf is trying to do, but it's definitely messing up the aliases and leading to a degraded out of the box experience. -- bad default aliasing for 'arial' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203824 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 203824] [NEW] bad default aliasing for 'arial'
Public bug reported: I suspect there are many users using Subpixel and Full hinting as their font setting. On a hardy system (install from Alpha 6, up to date 3/18/2008), the default fontconfig settings are set up so that 'Nimbuas Sans L becomes the default alias for 'arial'. This can be confirmed by running: fc-match 'arial' on the command line. Nimbus Sans L has no hinting support, so under the default font settings, it looks terrible. All web pages in firefox that specify 'arial' directly get rendered with this ugly font. 'arial' should probably get aliased to deja vu sans as in previous releases. This is one of the few fonts that look good with 'full' hinting settings. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- bad default aliasing for 'arial' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203824 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 161058] some ~/.fonts.conf settings do no override desktop-wide gnome settings (hinting style)
Public bug reported: I didn't fill out the package field, since this seems to be an interaction between multiple packages (gnome-setting-daemon, libgtk, libcairo, pango/cairo). In the 'Appearance' control app, under the font settings, I like to use 'Subpixel' and 'Full' hinting by default, since this looks good for most bundled fonts. However, there is occasionally a font (especially in the msttcorefonts package) that doesn't look good with these settings. So I want to override their rendering settings using .fonts.conf. My main tactic is to usually turn on the autohinter in 'hintslight' mode for certain fonts. Lets take Times new Roman as an example.. the .fonts.conf incantation to do this would be: match target=font test name=family qual=any stringTimes New Roman/string /test edit name=autohint booltrue/bool/edit edit name=hinting booltrue/bool/edit edit name=hintstyle consthintslight/const /edit /match The odd thing about this is that the 'autohint' and 'hinting' edits seem to work, but the 'hintstyle' edit is always overridden by the control applet's settings. I can verify this by launching gedit each time after tweaking these settings. fc-match -v 'Times New Roman' does return the right settings, so its something in the chain of gtk libraries that is messing it up. Interstingly, it's not all possible edit settings that are ignored. It seems to only be hintstyle. For example if I were to say: match target=font test name=family qual=any stringTimes New Roman/string /test edit name=antialias bool false /bool /edit /match Then this works correctly. Only Times New Roman will be non-antialiased even in gedit. Even setting hinting to false works.. its only the hintstyle setting that doesn't work. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- some ~/.fonts.conf settings do no override desktop-wide gnome settings (hinting style) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161058 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
