|
|
Hi ...
I recently tried cairo-1.2.4 (portage stable), yet it broke all AA font rendering on gtk apps.
Just gtk, QT apps work fine.
Re-emerging pango and gtk did not help.
Only downgrading to 1.0.4 brought AA fonts back to me.
Is there anything special going on with that ? (there is a revdep-rebuild notice at the end)
Horace

I have the exact same problem. All GTK apps looks screwy. revdep-rebuild says everything is consistent. |

I'm not sure if this is the same problem (since I've been on cairo 1.2.4 for some time now) but when I updated to KDE 3.5.5, GTK's anti-aliasing went weird but QT's didn't.
KDE overrides GTK font and color settings, and somehow it got screwy. Try going into Fonts in kcontrol, making a trivial change, like checking and unchecking a box, then hit apply. (And re-open your GTK apps.)
(If the KDE-overwritten colors go weird go under Colors and do the same thing.) _________________ Dnas

Here's a "live" ebuild for cairo, if anyone's interested. Works fine for me. |

Yep, that fixed it.
kcontrol->appearance & themes->fonts
uncheck "use anti-aliasing for fonts", hit apply
check "use anti-aliasing for fonts", hit apply
Everything back to normal.
Thanks! |

Thank you ...! I have marked this post as solved.
why does this happened to kill AA fonts though?
I notice there are some new symbols in the new cairo, yet I don't see there is any gtk config changes ...
ummmm .... |
