Just confirmed on 8.10 as well. It seems things have gotten slightly better.
I wrote a simple ~/.fonts.conf: <fontconfig> <match target="font"> <test name="family"><string>DejaVu Sans Mono</string></test> <edit name="hintstyle"><const>hintfull</const></edit> </match> </fontconfig> fc-match -v "DejaVu Sans Mono" will always return me a result that is consistent with my fonts.conf. In Intrepid, the above setting *seems* to work as long as you never actually run the gnome appearance panel and manually change the hint settings. Once you do that, then all the settings get overridden again (even if I restart apps [i've been testing with gedit]) -- 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
