Hi Friends !
I am using Debian unstable for last 3-4 months and couldn't configure fonts properly. Fonts were not smooth, installed
msttcorefonts, tweaked font config, anti-aliasing etc.. but result was not good.
I found a
font.conf from somewhere over net ( dont remember link ) and it has changed smoothness drastically. I am really impressed with it.
Copy font config, save it as
font-conf and replace it with
.font.conf of your home folder.
Code:
cd
mv .font.conf font.conf.bak
mv font-conf .font.conf
Restart X Server and see the difference. Its worth to try. If you like it, delete
font.conf.bak file.
You can use same config in Ubuntu/Kubuntu too.
font-conf :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="autohint" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>none</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintnone</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Enjoy smooooth Fonts !
