Ok, I was able to fix everything the way I had wanted. I looked at some of the comments made for this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/219931)
There, someone mentions that: >it's not the fonts which cause these issues, it's the fontconfig configuration >on your system, which prefers certain fonts over others in specific >situations. As the ja_JP setting in fontconfig-voodoo is optimized for >Japanese users who do not use extended Latin characters, this is indeed >expected behavior. If you prefer DejaVu or any other font fir Latin script, I >suggest that you copy /etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf to >~/.fonts.conf, then edit this file and add the DejaVu or other font entries at >the top of each font list for serif, sans-serif and monospace. This should fix >your problem. So I created ~/.fonts.conf by copying 69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf. I then added DejaVu fonts into fonts.conf as the first font setting for all three sections in the file, and I also added the following code (taken from above): <fontconfig> <match target="font"> <test name="lang" compare="contains"> <string>ja</string> </test> <edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> <edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"> <const>hintnone</const> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> I attached my .fonts.conf which maintains the good Latin characters as well as Japanese characters (both fonts are smoothed and anti-aliased). ** Attachment added: ".fonts.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34027457/fonts.txt -- Without ja_JP as default environment, Japanese font looks horrible for certain font sizes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36761 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
