Thanks Paul, I've fixed the directfb-no-accel patch and updated to 1.8.2 in the overlay. |

I have my fonts setup the way I want using the devnull overlay and configs I copies from this thread, but for some reason the bold fonts are fuzzy. Can anyone identify what I am missing? Also, one thing I notice is a bit odd. I have hinting set to full in all possible places, but xrdb -query shows "Xft.hintstyle" is set to medium. Why is that?
In this screenshot you can see the non-bold text looks good, but the bold text in the titlebar and in the webpage is fuzzy. http://kokshark.techbandits.com/~silent/font.png

briancl, your system is doing exactly what you told it to do, but as is often the case with computers, maybe not what you want it to do.
Remove the last <match> section from your ~/.fonts.conf. That section is disabling hinting for bold fonts, but evidently you like the look of hinted fonts, so you should remove that override. |

Unless you've edited 20-unhint-small-dejavu.conf, it'll only unhint DejaVu fonts at sizes less than 7.5 pixels. Unless you're running your X at less than 60 dpi, 9-point text is going to be rendered using more than 7.5 pixels. |

Thanks mwhitlock you got me on the right track. The configurations for the system (eselect fontconfig...) were right (i.e. dejavu was doing what it was supposed to do). I discovered that this line in my ".fonts.conf" made the low-pixel fonts hinted:
Code: | <match target="font" >
<test compare="more" name="pixelsize" qual="all" >
<double>9</double>
</test>
<test compare="less" name="pixelsize" qual="all" >
<double>13</double>
</test>
<edit mode="assign" name="autohint" >
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>none</const>
</edit>
</match> |
I got the DE setup now and all the font configured nicely. Thanks mwhitlock, I got a nicely font rendered screen and I don't even need a ~/.fonts.conf!
Thanks to bi3l for ebuilds. |

A bug in one of these programs I discovered is rendering fonts unpredictably if I don't have a "~/.fonts.conf" so it is a good idea to create a basic setup:
Code: | <?xml version="1.0"?><fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintmedium</const>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig> |

I get huge amounts of colour fringing in all applications. What am I doing wrong? I run GNOME, but am unsure if the config options are breaking things.

Try changing "rgb" to one of: bgr, vrgb, vbgr

I have tried them all; however, I can assure that it is RGB (Ubuntu live-cd for the win!). Therefore, it is a Gentoo related issue.
I have tried removing ~/.fonts.conf. Running eselect fontconfig list:
Code: |
freddie@iodine ~ $ eselect fontconfig list
Available fontconfig .conf files ( * is enabled ):
[1] 10-antialias.conf *
[2] 10-autohint.conf *
[3] 10-hinting.conf *

[5] 10-hinting-medium.conf
[6] 10-hinting-slight.conf *
[7] 10-no-sub-pixel.conf
[8] 10-sub-pixel-bgr.conf
[9] 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf *
[10] 10-sub-pixel-vbgr.conf
[11] 10-sub-pixel-vrgb.conf
[12] 10-unhinted.conf

[32] 70-no-bitmaps.conf
[33] 70-yes-bitmaps.conf
[34] 80-delicious.conf *
[35] 90-synthetic.conf *
|
However, xrdb -query still gives the same as above (as if it is ignoring the fontconfig eselect stuff totally).
FF, GNOME and Qt apps all show colour fringing, OpenOffice.org still uses plain-old greyscale AA. I wish I knew where all of these applications were getting their info from.

I have no idea why, but in kde4 suddenly the nice fonts disappeared. They are still great in gtk apps, but not in kde. They look hinted but like that newspr thing is not applied.
Here is eselect. What else should I check?
Code: |
eselect fontconfig list
Available fontconfig .conf files ( * is enabled ):
[1] 10-antialias.conf *
[2] 10-autohint.conf

Can anyone tell me where are the instructions? the link mentioned in the first post is dead.
Is everything required for this to work, in portage now?
I have horrible fonts in both kde and gtk apps. I have yet to update to cairo-1.8.4 though. |

What provides 10-hinting-*.conf ? I only seem to have the following:
Code: | # eselect fontconfig list
Available fontconfig .conf files ( * is enabled ):
[1] 10-autohint.conf *
[2] 10-no-sub-pixel.conf
[3] 10-sub-pixel-bgr.conf
[4] 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf *
[5] 10-sub-pixel-vbgr.conf *
[6] 10-sub-pixel-vrgb.conf
[7] 10-unhinted.conf
[8] 20-fix-globaladvance.conf *
[9] 20-unhint-small-vera.conf *
[10] 25-unhint-nonlatin.conf
[11] 30-metric-aliases.conf *
[12] 30-urw-aliases.conf *
[13] 40-nonlatin.conf *
[14] 45-latin.conf *
[15] 49-sansserif.conf *
[16] 50-user.conf *
[17] 51-local.conf *
[18] 60-latin.conf *
[19] 65-fonts-persian.conf *
[20] 65-khmer.conf
[21] 65-nonlatin.conf *
[22] 69-unifont.conf *
[23] 70-no-bitmaps.conf
[24] 70-yes-bitmaps.conf
[25] 80-delicious.conf *
[26] 90-synthetic.conf *
| Can someone please tell me where the instructions are? My fonts have a fuzzy look at full hinting and subpixel vrgb (rgb gives a color fringe). |

You need that tarball as an overlay and then set the new useflags: ubuntu and newspr. _________________ Workstation: 5.1 SurroundSound, LIRC remote control; Laptop [IBM-T43]: patched sources, s2disk/ram, fingerprint sensor |
