 Posted: Wed May 04, 2016 6:09 pm Post subject: urxvt ignores hinting settings |
 |
|
I'm trying to get full hinting fonts in urxvt, but it seems to ignore all hinting configuration instructions. I've tried the following settings in .Xresources: | Code: | | URxvt*font: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=12:hinting=true:hintstyle=hintfull |
and
| Code: | Xft.hinting: True
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull |
(and here I've also tried to write true or 1 instead of True). I don't see any effect at all.
(Yes, I've said before starting urxvt. And urxvt really takes some of the options into account, for example font face and size, but not hinting.)
Maybe, .Xresources is an outdated way to configure urxvt? (Yes, it seems to be quite old in general, but I don't know if it is too old for urxvt.) If yes, how do I configure hinting in urxvt? |

odin_ago ...
you have the xft useflag enabled on x11-terms/rxvt-unicode? If so, it may be that antialias isn't also enabled, try the following:
| .Xresources: | Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
URxvt.depth: 32
URxvt.font:xft:Monospace:pixelsize=12 |

Yes, USE=xft is enabled.
I've tried your config, it does not help. |

| I recall urxvt being wrong for the sake of being (some pedantically useless definition of) "correct" and that I had to do USE="-vanilla alt-font-width" to get it to display fonts properly. Try that maybe? |

What's happen if you try
in .Xresources, then merge the file and query the settings? Is Urxvt still do not have any hinting? It is obvious, but do you close the window and open a new instance of Urxvt? Your desktop environment may have something to do with the hinting.

Ant ... I don't know about that but I have the following useflags:
256-color focused-urgency font-styles perl vanilla xft -alt-font-width -blink -buffer-on-clear -fading-colors -iso14755 -mousewheel -pixbuf -secondary-wheel -startup-notification -unicode3 -wcwidth
I think vanilla just switches off applying any gentoo patches (because upstream whined about how "broken" gentoo is in 'man 7 urxvt', and elsewhere), and alt-font-width shouldn't effect xft as afaik its about unicode font width.
@odin_ago ... you haven't mentioned which versions of x11-terms/rxvt-unicode, x11-libs/libXft, media-libs/fontconfig, etc, or what useflags are set on these, how fontconfig is configured (eselect fontconfig list), or what font 'monospace' corresponds with. It might also be worth seeing 'emerge --info'.

Logicien, Xft.autohint: 1 does not help. Still no hinting. Yes, I restart urxvt every time I try. I don't know how my desktop environment (kde) affects hinting, but in all other programs, as far as I see or remember, I have full hinting even without any special configuration efforts. When I query the settings after Xft.autohint: 1, I get:
| Code: | URxvt.depth: 32
URxvt.font: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=12
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.autohint: 1
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba: rgb |
khayyam, I don't know how to check "what font 'monospace' corresponds with". Here are answers to the rest of your questions.
