I experienced this in Kubuntu 11.04 amd64 fully updated as of 01/31/2011. I opened the font configuration screen, did not change anything, did not apply any changes nor was I asked to and then logged out and back in to find my fonts were no longer anti-aliased, etc. I deleted the .fonts.conf file and .fontsconfig directory and then logged out and back in to find my fonts returned to the what they were prior to opening the font config screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69091 Title: Fonts look blurry if ~/.fonts.conf (even empty one) is present -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Todd, I think that this is the wrong Launchpad bug report to link to (it is assigned to fontconfig). You probably meant that one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase/+bug/69085 where I have now added your upstream bug watch. To answer your question: Back when I reported it, this was still in KDE3 and the system settings module wasn't part of upstream KDE.

[Bug 69091] Re: Fonts look blurry if ~/.fonts.conf (even empty one) is present
Hi Frank, firstly apologies for not clicking through to #69085 when I first read this bug report. the behaviour on my system is not an empty ~/.fonts.conf but a populated file in xml format. In my 8.10 (KDE 4.1) setup a 23 line ~/.fonts.conf file is generated just by opening the 'appearance' tab of systemsettings (KDE) https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase- workspace/+question/61092 If the question above is answered then then this bug report goes back to being a question regarding fuzzy fonts rather than being also clouded by fonts.conf stuff.

[Bug 69091] Re: Fonts look blurry if ~/.fonts.conf (even empty one) is present
Hi garyuu, Sorry, if that wasn't clear, but this report mentioned Kubuntu's System Settings, i.e. the KDE ones, but nonetheless, issue (2) is mainly discussed in #69085. Opening System Settings -- Appearance -- Fonts still creates a .fonts.conf, even in Kubuntu 8.10 (KDE 4.1). I don't have the same hardware anymore, so I can't test, whether an empty .fonts.conf makes fonts blurry anymore (and that's what this bug report is mainly about). I only know that with my current hardware, fonts get better, if I change the KDE created defaults in .fonts.conf from rgba:none-rgb and hintstyle:hintmedium-hintfull.

[Bug 69091] Re: Fonts look blurry if ~/.fonts.conf (even empty one) is present
I am experiencing this problem in Hardy. The systemsettings | Appearance option creates a local ~/.fonts.conf file. The settings in this file do not correspond to the options I select when I execute: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config --force Select: Font tuning method for screen: Autohinter Enable subpixel rendering for screen: Automatic Enable bitmapped fonts by default? No As a result the fonts revert to a fuzzy appearance. To correct this, I have to manually delete the local ~/.fonts.conf each time I access the Appearance option from systemsettings. -- Fonts look blurry if ~/.fonts.conf (even empty one) is present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69091 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

I seem to have the same problem on Gutsy. With ~/.fonts.conf present I always get super-blurry over-antialiased fonts. I've removed .fonts.conf and now my KDE4 fonts are good (slightly antialised), but my KDE3 fonts, Thunderbird, Firefox, GIMP GUI are blurry. -- Fonts look blurry if ~/.fonts.conf (even empty one) is present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69091 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

** Attachment added: Screenshot: Blurry fonts with empty ~/.fonts.conf http://librarian.launchpad.net/4940056/blurry-after-appearance.png ** Description changed: After a default Kubuntu installation, fonts look nicely anti-aliased and still clear (see attachment clear-before-appearance.png). But if I add a ~/.fonts.conf (and log out and in), they get completely blurry (see blurry-after-appearance.png), even if the ~/.fonts.conf is empty between fontconfig /fontconfig. This caught me, because the Kubuntu system settings created a ~/.fonts.conf when I viewed the Appearance section - (see the linked bug). + (see the bug #69085). If you think it is a mistake to have a quasi empty ~/.fonts.conf present, or the one that Kubuntu System Settings writes out is wrong (see linked bug: fonts.diff), then this bug against fontconfig may be rejected. But I assume, that if one setting is not present in ~/.fonts.conf, it is taken from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, so an empty ~/.fonts.conf should not hurt. This bug seems to have been encountered by various users who have added their information to #63403. Especially comment 20 explains this, and the following comments also conclude, that maybe for mentioned case (3) there should be a separate bug filed. Maybe my bug report fulfills this need. -- Fonts look blurry if ~/.fonts.conf (even empty one) is present https://launchpad.net/bugs/69091 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 69091] Re: Fonts look blurry if ~/.fonts.conf (even empty one) is present
The issue you describe here is even more odd. I don't understand why an empty ~/.fonts.conf makes any difference, there are no conflicts in this case. The problem I was talking about is that it's not clear what the priority is between Xft resources and the settings in ~/.fonts.conf . If both conflict (eg having the Xft.hintstyle=hintmedium resources, and setting hintstyle to hintfull in ~/.fonts.conf), then a priority should be clearly made, and every apps should follow it. -- Fonts look blurry if ~/.fonts.conf (even empty one) is present https://launchpad.net/bugs/69091 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
