1. The gui design changes when installing "fetchmsttfonts", at least for the monospace font-family. I think for the "sans serif" and "serif" families openSUSE delivers fonts it bought which try to look like "Arial" "Times New Roman" so these font-families look may not change. Usually I want to install "fetchmsttfonts" because I get office documents using those fonts and I want them to be displayed as intended or I work with someone on a document using those fonts. But I don't want them as default!
Edit ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf (12.3) or ~/.fonts.conf (older) and specify that your own preference for sans-serif. The logic you should be able to inferfrom 58-.conf <fontconfig> <alias> <family>serif</family> <prefer> <family>Not-Times</family> </prefer> </alias> </fontconfig>
2. "Arial", "Times New Roman" and "Consolas" perform bad. For example Consolas doesn't gives me the dots above the german "Ö" when using sizes smaller then 10pt. What do you think about setting the DejaVu family as default for the next openSUSE?
The Vista C font collection (Consolas, Cantarell...) is not so much made for small sizes, but Arial and TNR totally are. You know, because they have showcased themselves for decades on Windows platforms. And that is why they are a high-priority default in SUSE. The only difference is that, IIRC, unlike Windows, we enable antialiasing below 15pt as well and thus ignore the embedded bitmaps. That is a subjective choice, and I happen to support it. If you want that turned off, add to ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf <match target="font"> <edit name="embeddedbitmap"><bool>true</bool></edit> <edit name="antialias"><bool>false</bool></edit> </match> Experiment what you like best. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
