http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1054071 Bug ID: 1054071 Summary: font hinting not used when antialiasing is off Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org Assignee: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: pgajdos@suse.com QA Contact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 736886 --> http://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=736886&action=edit screenshot
From the screenshot, you can see that font in e. g. firefox tab descriptionsor or on the page itself, or also on window captions (icewm), seem to be rendered without hinting. Correct output I would expect is for example in yast window or gpicview dialog (also see screenshot).
I use Liberation Sans (well instructed font) with antialiasing off, which leads to sharp fonts. $ fc-match -v sans | grep 'family:\|alias\|hint' family: "Liberation Sans"(s) antialias: False(w) hintstyle: 3(i)(w) hinting: True(w) autohint: False(w) force_hintstyle: "none"(w) force_autohint: False(w) search_metric_aliases: True(w) $ It does not look like freetype issue, as ftview renders glyphs correctly (see the screenshot). It also does not look like this is just firefox issue as window captions of the IceWM suffer too. gtk application (gpicview) has menu rendered correctly. This happened during some Tumbleweed update I made in august. I am sure I have not change any font setting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
