 Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2015 9:36 am Post subject: Is there any guide on how to render beautiful fonts? |
 |
|
I'm much satisfied with my Xfce4 Desktop, but recently the font rendering annoy me a lot.
I follow the wiki:fontconfig and emerge infinality and disable all the option in the
| Code: | | eselect fontconfig list |
But the effect isn't as good as what I thought... 
I also copy /etc/fonts/ from my LinuxMint and cover /etc/fonts/ in my Gentoo, the rendering seems better, but font "Noto Sans" ,which is used for my desktop fonts, cannot be detect...
So if there is any nice guide on how to deal with fonts rendering in Gentoo, just tell me, thank you 
Or if you think you have a beautiful font rendering, Just paste out your | Code: | | eselect fontconfig list |
can also help me a lot for a reference!
Thanks anyway~ |

| The Noto Sans font is part of the media-fonts/noto package. |

There is a package for fontconfig-ultimate now. I find it too much though and have found it's possible to get very good rendering with a simple set up like this -
