[Bug 193095] Font of Gnome apps don't have antialiasing in KDE
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=193095 ------- Comment #13 from federico@ximian.com 2006-10-18 14:42 MST ------- This is not a bug; it's just missing interop between KDE and GNOME in the way they configure font rendering options and in the way they propagate changes about those options. GNOME stores the font options in GConf. Apps call cairo_set_font_options() dynamically when the GConf values get changed from the control center. As far as I know, KDE stores ~/.fonts.conf (or ~/.fontconfig; I don't remember) when things get changed in its control center, and apps need to be restarted to get the new options. We need a single way to store things and propagate changes. It's easy enough for GNOME to monitor changes to ~/.fonts.conf. There may be some missing APIs in Fontconfig to change the configuration dynamically, but that shouldn't be a problem to add, either. There remains the problem of remote X clients. GNOME propagates its font settings using the XSettings protocol, and also sets X resources for apps which may wish to use them (though I don't know of any apps that do). -- 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.
