Hello.
I have been a Debian-based distro for last 2+ years. I have never used clean Debian 9, but SparkyLinux, Neptune Linux, etc.
Now I have switched to pure Debian 9, and the only thing I can't make work, are the fonts. they are horrible pout-of-the-box.
Web and Code editors have Monospace and other nice fonts by default on other Distros I have tried, but on Deb 9 they are horrible to look at. Can anyone help with this please ?
Regards.
Juris.

Re: Debian 9 Stretch Out-Of-the-Box Fonts
Try this in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf:
You may prefer stronger hinting or the alternative lcdfilter patterns but the above configuration works for me©
Code: Select all
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="autohint" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintslight</const>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
<const>lcddefault</const>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
