https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223252 ------- Comment #22 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-01-22 08:06 MST ------- Although Firefox is a GTK2 application, it doesn't take all the font settings from gnome-font-properties like other GTK2/Gnome applications like for example Gimp and Gedit do. Firefox only takes some of the settings from the Gnome control centre and others from the fontconfig setup files like ~/.fonts.conf. It is not nice that KDE and Gnome store the font settings in different places (KDE in ~/.fonts.conf and Gnome in the X-Resources). But until that is fixed it is best to set your favorite settings in both places. I.e. something like Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: rgb in your ~/.Xdefaults (edit these settings as yo like) and something like <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const>rgb</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="autohint" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" > <const>hintfull</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <alias> <family>serif</family> <prefer> <family>Thorndale AMT</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>Albany AMT</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>monospace</family> <prefer> <family>DejaVu Sans Mono</family> </prefer> </alias> If you keep the settings the same, font rendering in KDE, GTK2, Gnome, Firefox, .. should be more consistent. For "Thorndale AMT", "Albany AMT", "DejaVu Sans Mono" use your favorite fonts for "serif", "sans-serif", and "monospace" respectively. These 3 rules give the defaults for all the applications which use the aliases "serif", "sans-serif", and "monospace". I.e. instead setting up your favorite fonts in each application seperately, you can just edit ~/.fonts.conf and have your favorite fonts used almost everywhere. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
