 Posted: Mon Feb 03, 2003 12:30 am Post subject: No antialiasing in KDE 3.1 |
 |
|
I've just upgraded to KDE 3.1, and no matter what I try, I can't seem to get antialiasing to work. For what it's worth, it wasn't working in 3.0.x either, so it's not anything new. I've tried using different fonts, running fc-cache, changing settings in the KDE font manager, etc. Nothing seems to work.
I tried installing Xft, then rebuilding Xfree and Qt. No luck with that either. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I'm missing? Thanks so much for your help!

My .fonts.conf:
| Code: | <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig> |

do you have truetype under the USE variables in your make.conf ?
build your system / xfree with this and it should auto setup antialiasing

Yeah, truetype is in make.defaults, and I don't touch it in make.conf... Any other thoughts?

I forget if this helps or not, but who knows.. are you loading "freetype" in your XF86Config file?
| Code: |
Section "Module"
...
Load "freetype"
EndSection
|
Again, I have no idea if that will help or not... |

Yeah, I am... Here's the relevant stuff from XF86Config:
| Code: | Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
EndSection |

| BTW, does KDE 3.1 use xft2 and/or fontconfig? |

I really don't know if it does. I'm led to believe that it does, since when you change your antialias settings, it rewrites your .fonts.conf...
I noticed something interesting. In mozilla, it looks like it's antialiasing my fonts. But in gtk, kde, and qt apps, it's not. Any thoughts on that?

Unless it changed, it doesnt... Since some time back, I dont know when, KDE from ebuild started using xftconfig (is that the file?), that old system from back then. So put your rules in there and it should work.
Very very annoying that we are stuck editing 2 files...as if fonts in linux were not such a pain as it is already... |

Hmm... So it's actually not writing anything to .fonts.conf when I change the settings. Actually, I can't find anything that it's writing to. Anyone know what file it should be updating?
