There is anti-aliasing. You can use "xmag" to magnify text on your screen and convince you that there is anti-aliasing. Roman Pelissier> When set to medium, it is much better some fonts have Roman Pelissier> like a kind of shadow. I don't think it is better. It is much blurrier, there is far too much gray. With hintstyle=hintfull, you get much sharper glyphs. These glyphs are rendered with the byte code interpreter which gives very crisp and sharp glyphs with full hinting when fonts which have good byte code are used (which is the case in your screen shot). If you want blurrier fonts you can switch off the byte code interpreter and use the autohinter instead. There is no GUI to do that, you have to edit your ~/.fonts.conf file. Create such a file if it doesn't exist yet. Example contents of a ~/.fonts.conf file switching on the autohinter: <?xml version="1.0"?> <fontconfig> <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> </fontconfig> I like autohint=false much better though. Not using the byte code interpreter for fonts with good byte code results in much blurrier glyphs. It throws away all the effort the the authors have invested to make the glyphs render sharply. Closing as WORKSFORME because this is just a matter of taste and I think the results with the byte code interpreter (your screen shot in comment #2) are far superior. -- 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.
