Hi, (I'm running i386/current but this was also true when I installed amd64/4.9 recently)
I noticed that the fonts in GTK2 apps are not RGB anti-aliased, even though I created a symlink /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf -> ../conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf. Creating this symlink always worked in the past. Then I also tried adding the following lines to my ~/.gtkrc-2.0: gtk-xft-hinting = 1 gtk-xft-hintstyle = "hintfull" gtk-xft-antialias = 1 gtk-xft-rgba = "rgb" and adding the following lines to my ~/.Xdefaults: Xft*dpi: 96 Xft*antialias: true Xft*hinting: true Xft*hintstyle: hintfull Xft*rgba: rgb still no luck. The weird thing is, I can see that cwm(1), for example, does perform an RGB anti-alias. Anyone knows what's going on in here? I have a suspicion that maybe with the recent versions of GTK, this setting is controlled from within GTK with that gconf-tool or something?
