I ran into an interesting situation. I noticed that I had to launch Konsole twice to get my fonts to render correctly. The first time I would launch, it would look like this:
I could close and reopen Konsole, and I would then get better rendering such as this:
Thinking this could be a KDE problem since I was running KDE Unstable, I decided to pose my question on the fedora-kde mailing list. Several folks suggested removing the Infinality patches, and pointed out a few problems with them. I did so, and installed
freetype-freeworld from RPM Fusion and now, my fonts look (to me) even better than they did with the Infinality patches:
Here is how my fonts are configured within KDE as well:
This also cured the issue I was having specifically with Konsole.
I always use freetype-freeworld and put a file named .Xresources in my home directory with following content:
ReplyDeleteXft.autohint: 0
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.rgba: rgb
this way the font rendering looks great, like ubuntu font rendering.
Thanks for the tip Rafael, I tried that but I preferred the rendering with the setup from the post on my KDE machine, but it works nicely on my Xfce box.
ReplyDeleteI just don't like the look of the fonts in fedora, fedora is one of the best distros I like but the font rendering is just not letting me use it on my laptop, I don't know my eyes seem to hurt, I don't know how Ubuntu has made them so good and so smooth for my eyes I just wish I could use the fonts and the font rendering from Ubuntu.
ReplyDeleteI have had pretty good luck following these instructions: http://www.infinality.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=77
