[Bug 209358] Re: fonts in Qt4 look ugly because it uses Nimbus Sans L instead of Deja Vu Sans for Sans-Serif
It seems that this Qt version has hardcoded the generic type "Helvetica" as "Sans Serif". Helvetica is defined at /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-metric- aliases.conf as "Nimbus Sans L" You can change it there or add to your ~/.fonts.conf the following stanzas: Helvetica Arial Then refresh your font cache with fc-cache, restart your application and you should be watching a nice, crisp, hinted font. Substitute Arial for the font of your choice.

A workaround is to remove Nimbus from the system by uninstalling the 'gsfonts' package, but packages like 'gimp' depend on it. -- fonts in Qt4 look ugly because it uses Nimbus Sans L instead of Deja Vu Sans for Sans-Serif https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209358 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

[Bug 209358] Re: fonts in Qt4 look ugly because it uses Nimbus Sans L instead of Deja Vu Sans for Sans-Serif
I’m trying KDE 4 these days and I was surprised to see everything in Helvetica (Nimbus Sans). It had adopted the font settings of KDE 3 which demand a sans serif generically, fontconfig resolves “Sans Serif” to “Lucida Sans”, as “fc-match” shows, but Qt 4 (KDE 4) anyway uses Helvetica for generic sans serif. That hardcoded substitution in Qt 4 is really annoying. I’m really using the flexible fontconfig configuration framework, but Qt 4 breaks it, demanding much higher efforts in configuring applications to my wishes. That is a question of standard compliance. I’m going to contact Qt Software (formerly known as Trolltech). -- fonts in Qt4 look ugly because it uses Nimbus Sans L instead of Deja Vu Sans for Sans-Serif https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209358 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 209358] Re: fonts in Qt4 look ugly because it uses Nimbus Sans L instead of Deja Vu Sans for Sans-Serif
For some reason Qt 4, at least its X11 version, substitutes "Sans Serif" with "Helvetica". You can see that in "Font Substitution" panel in "Fonts" tab of Qt 4 configuration tool. Even if you remove that option from ~/.config/Trolltech.conf, your modification will be ignored, so it seems to be hard-coded. -- fonts in Qt4 look ugly because it uses Nimbus Sans L instead of Deja Vu Sans for Sans-Serif https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209358 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 209358] Re: fonts in Qt4 look ugly because it uses Nimbus Sans L instead of Deja Vu Sans for Sans-Serif
This bug is not really fixed, it has been worked around in KDE4 by forcing DejaVu Sans as default font in kubuntu-default-settings, but the bug is still there for pure Qt4 apps and people who don't use kubuntu- default-settings. ** Changed in: qt4-x11 (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- fonts in Qt4 look ugly because it uses Nimbus Sans L instead of Deja Vu Sans for Sans-Serif https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209358 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
