- .pfb fonts no longer work at all.
- urxvt is now completely unreadable (and it's even worse than in those old screenshots) because these patches require libXft >= 2.3.

For using the pfb fonts, comment the "Type 1" configuration part in the infinality.conf file. |

Without infinality i dont have any problem, but rendering sucks. Anyone with the same issue?
Edited: I found a way to solve this, allowing Type1 fonts, which are disabled by default in infinality.conf.
I found this suggestion here. |

I suggest you report that on the Gentoo bugzilla. Disabling Postscript fonts sounds too extreme to be the default, and probably too extreme to be even a USE-flag option.
Edit: Here's the bug report. |

sorry to resurrect an old thread, but im curious if any of you have successfully installed freetype 2.5 yet? apparently the new engine was created by adobe and google and is super sexy. i want to give it a shot, but i have no clue how to create ebuilds yet and was curious if any of you have got it up and running.

See thread for Infinality patch.
The interest in Adobe's CFF is surprisingly low, since we already have Infinality, and they currently can't be used together, and Adobe's CFF only improves OpenType fonts. |

Hello,
I'm having a problem with infinality patches, maybe indirectly. When I'm drawing a white text (other color but black will trigger this too) on a transparent background, some border pixel, that normaly have some alpha due to antialiasing, are having a weired colors. When I disable infinality rules in fontconfig (eselect fontconfig) all is working as expected.
Here is an example, upper text is painted while infinality was turned on, and lower while its turned off. (recommended to view this in picture browser that clearly shows transparent areas)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6883398/both.png
Easy way to reproduce:
1. create new image in GIMP with background set as "Transparent".
2. pick Text tool, select white color and draw some text over the picture.
Anyone else have this? |

Thanks for link poncho.
I have removed suggested fragment from the fontconfig conf file - that fixed it all right, but pretty much ruined whole configuration in the process.
At least I know someone is aware of this problem.
I think I'll drop infinality patches for now and try to get vanilla configuration info usable state. |

I've been fiddling with the Infinality setting for quite some time.
No matter what I do, the fonts render square.
Can I please pay someone to make Helvetica look exactly like this?

I would recompile in the correct order: freetype pixman harfbuzz fontconfig cairo pango
bohoomil has some great (Arch Linux) threads, for font libs and free good-looking fonts.
freetype is continually being improved, so I'm using a git checkout with these patches:

It didn't take me too long to switch successfully over to using infinality despite my being finicky with fonts and already having a good setup which rendered fine via nvidia-
- eselect infinality set linux produces a much better result than set infinality
- disabling everything else in eselect fontconfig is OK and seems to be necessary to get the best rendering
- disabling the dpi and type1 in infinality.conf also helps
All the normal websites seem to render fine in firefox...only issue at the moment is that the default body text on some sites is slightly smaller than it was before. I guess I can just bump up minimum font size somewhere. |

Got an example? bohoomil reckons that type 1 fonts generally render better. |

I want to do what you did.
i can select Linux style by doing sudo bash /etc/fonts/infinality/infctl.sh setstyle
then i can disable everything by editing sudo -H gedit /etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh
am i correct? How do I disable everything? using USE_STYLE="DISABLED"?
That still hints my fonts.
how do i "disabling the dpi and type1 in infinality.conf also helps"? |
