[opensuse-factory] Qt font rendering has changed?
It feels like some of the recent (2 weeks ago or less) snapshots has changed the way Qt(?) applications render fonts -- now they resemble Infinality patches with a thick configuration. As an example, here are side-to-side GTK and Qt pavucontrol versions.[0] The GTK version has the fonts rendered like they used to be rendered all the time. What has changed, and can it be brought back?

pavucontrol appears the same for me that it has for several years. pavucontrol-3.0-2.6.x86_64 I cannot look at a gtk version as I use plasma/kde and don't have one installed. you neglected to say what version you use which may, or may not make a difference. mine is Tw. fwiw: I have not witnessed *any* changes in font appearances for quite some length of time. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It's not about the pavucontrol per se. All Plasma and [as it seems, all] Qt apps behave like that. Pavucontrol has a Qt port, so it was used to demonstrate the visual difference.
I cannot look at a gtk version as I use plasma/kde and don't have one installed.
Well, pavucontrol only provides GTK GUI. The Qt one is pavucontrol-qt-0.14.1-1.3.

OK, then my Fonts (as in Plasma System Settings) configuration is: antialiasing: enabled subpixel: rgb hinting: full font family: noto sans (except monospace) % xrdb -query -all | grep -i xft Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: rgb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

ok, appears I have neither, only pavucontrol-3.0-2.6.x86_64 I make *major* use of "zypper -v dup --no-r"

I don't think it's required by any package on a Plasma desktop (since there is KMix and more). I once got used to its interface, and it works, so I always use it regardless of the environment.

Then it's on my side. I'll try a few things (maybe it's the default new lcdfilter). Just needed to be sure it's not a global change. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
