Public bug reported: As stated by the Freetype documentation, I should be able to use `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES` to control some options such as whether TrueType fonts are hinted using Hinting Engine v35 or v40, or whether stem darkening for CFF(i.e. OpenType PostScript Flavor) fonts are enabled. I think this should work in everything that uses FreeType, but apparently it doesn't work in Gnome-Terminal. It does work in xterm, and even xfce4-terminal, which also uses libVTE to provide terminal emulation.
Actual Results: `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES` doesn't take effect. Expected Results: Should work as in xterm or xfce4-terminal. Additional Information: I'm on Ubuntu 18.04, with gnome-terminal 3.28.1. The correctly working xfce4-terminal's version is 0.8.7.3. ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "xfce4-terminal (left) vs gnome-terminal (right)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772557/+attachment/5142674/+files/freetype_properties.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772557 Title: FREETYPE_PROPERTIES environment variable is not respected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1772557/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
