As a workaround, I have been using a self-made script in python to make .fonts.conf follow gconf settings.
I've added it to session startup scripts for watching for changes in gconf and writting a new version of ~/.fonts.conf according to the new values whenever settings are modified. An ugly solution but works for me. ** Attachment added: "dot-fonts.conf auto-rewrite python script" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/42487366/gconf-fonts-settings-to-dot-fonts-conf -- MASTER - FF 3.5 font hinting does not honour gnome-settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379761 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
