 |
|
i emerged gnome after successfully having installed gentoo 1.4. about 4 days ago. so i should have the newest stuff. yet i don't have a XftConfig file in /etc/..... nor anywhere else (except a link)
and emerge ...xft (the lib) says it is masked (what does that mean?)
anyway... i am running gnome at the moment with
export GDK_USE_XFT=0 in my gnome sessions file (etc/X11/Sessions/Gnome)
what's wrong????? |

I think you dont need Xftconfig anymore... now you have /etc/fonts/fonts.conf |

I had trouble with this as well. Here is what I discovered in another thread (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=19194):
| Quote: | | In addition, there isn't a /etc/X11/XftConfig ... just a symlink to the missing file under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig. I had to copy /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/files/4.2.1/XftConfig manually. |
It seems to have worked for me. Hope it helps!

I didn't need to copy that file to get AA and truetype fonts, i just configured /etc/fonts/fonts.conf |

I just added the fonts directories:
| Code: |
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/PEX</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir>
|
And uncommented sub-pixel rendering. Nothing more.:
| Code: | <!--
Enable sub-pixel rendering
-->
<match target="font">
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
</match>
|
[/code] |
