I get great AA in mozilla using the settings that zepar mentionned in the 3rd article of this thread in my user.js.
However, what he didn't mention, is that you may need to add the path where your truetype fonts (ms webfonts and others) are:
| Code: | cat .mozilla/default/7o8al3e5.slt/user.js
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.onunload", "noAccess");
pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);
pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6");
// if libfreetype was built without hinting compiled in
// it is best to leave hinting off
pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", true);
pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", true);
// below a certian pixel size anti-aliased fonts produce poor results
pref("font.antialias.min", 6);
pref("font.embedded_bitmaps.max", 1000000);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.min", 64);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.gain", "0.1");
pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/share/fonts/truetype");
pref("font.directory.truetype.2", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType");

I'd like to add a problem I'm having. Here's the gig: I installed the xft patch and got Mozilla fonts working beautifully. However, now Gnome fonts look TERRIBLE. The fonts are nowhere near clear, and you can see horrible jaggies in them. Before, when I was using libfreetype.so.6.3.1, I wasn't getting this, but my mozilla fonts weren't as nice either.
Anyone know why this could be?
Edit: BTW, I do have GDK_USE_XFT=1 |

For antialiasing in Mozilla and Phoenix, I just had to edit unix.js. Is GdkXft an alternative Xft driver, or is it what Mozilla and Phoenix use by default? Also: AFAIK Xft is FreeType for X - X font rendering using FreeType.
When I set this: | Code: | | 'pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", true); |
Times New Roman (Agfa Monotype) and other Serif fonts look great. Actually, it looks as if hinting is on, as opposed to what the setting apparently says. However, Sans-Serif fonts (Tahoma, Arial) look too "heavy". When I set the same setting to false, Sans-Serif fonts look good, and Serif fonts look like blurred versions of themselves non-antialiased - they don't have that "full" look to them. This is how they look with KDE antialiasing (not sure about Gnome2). What I did was leave it this way and set Phoenix and Mozilla to only use Tahoma (my favorite Sans-Serif font). Anybody know how to get the best of both worlds?

Edit -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts
Proportional: Serif (try also Sans Serif) (is has efect on sites like slashdot)
Serif: Agfa Monotype-times new roman-iso8859-1
Sans-Serif: Agfa Monotype-arial-iso8859-1
Cursive: Microsoft-comic sans ms-iso8859-1
Fantasy: Microsoft-trebuchet ms-iso8859-1
Monospace: Agfa Monotype-courier new-iso8859-1
'Allow documents to use other fonts' (try to disable and see how its looks) (i have this enable)
The size of the fonts depend of your monitor and resolution (so, this may not work well for u) :
Size (pixels): 18
Monospace size: 14
Minimum font size: 13 |
THANK YOU !

Oh, and i have edited also mozillas unix.js
and changed minfontsize to 12, and the gain stuff to 0.0
| Code: |
// TrueType
pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);
pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6");
// if libfreetype was built without hinting compiled in
// it is best to leave hinting off
pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", false);
pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", false);
// below a certian pixel size anti-aliased fonts produce poor results
pref("font.antialias.min", 12);
pref("font.embedded_bitmaps.max", 1000000);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.min", 64);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.gain", "0.0");
// sample prefs for TrueType font dirs
pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/share/fonts/truetype");
pref("font.directory.truetype.2", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF");
pref("font.directory.truetype.3", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype");

I have a problem. In mozilla/Galeon/all GTK1-based programs my fonts don't show up. I also installed fonts from WindowsXP, but no avail.
The strange part is that when a page (such as this forum) wants to use Verdana or Arial, instead of the default, it looks great.
But I can FORCE them, by editing Galeon's config file by hand I got it to use verdana, but then web pages took like 5 minutes to draw, and I'm using a AhtlonXP 1800!?
This is very frustrating, I hope they fix it with the release of Galeon2/whatever they name the GTK2 version.
