Bug ID: 15670
Summary: Make it compatible with fontconfig?
Classification: Xfce Core
Product: Xfce4-settings
Version: 4.13.6
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Medium
Component: Appearance Settings
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: Xfce 4.14
This is Fedora 30 with Xfce 4.13
The fonts settings currently makes no difference for Firefox (and probably
Thunderbird) as the latter only obeys fontconfig settings.
Firefox here was terribly ugly with the default system settings (just
hintslight and nothing else). This was good in the sense that I finally learned
how to configure fonts (it was just a matter of linking the desired conf files
from the available ones - in Fedora from /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/ - to
etc/fonts/conf.d/).
But it was not only ugly, it was very uncomfortable to use and ideally this
definitely should be dealt by the DE settings. I suspect GNOME does that.
So, unless I'm mistaken, the appearance font settings probably should create a
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/conf.d/local.conf file or, in case the conf.avail
directory is always in the same place regardless of the OS, link the selected
conf files to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/conf.d
If this is ever implemented, then maybe also add the lcd filters option.
