Fontconfig

[pawRoot]

Hi

I was able to configure my fonts almost perfectly, but after my new configuration, some fonts look "flattened".

Example:



^All the green links look flattened, and i don't know if it's some font settings, or type of font itself, no idea.

Here is my configs:

.Xresources

Code: Select all

Xft.antialias:  1
Xft.autohint:   0
Xft.hinting:    0
Xft.hintstyle:  hintnone
Xft.lcdfilter:  lcddefault
Xft.rgba:       rgb

/etc/fonts/local.conf

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>

</fontconfig>

Any ideas?

BunsenLabs uses:

Code: Select all

Xft.autohint: true
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
!Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault

& fonts.conf: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bunse ... fonts.conf

Does that help?

Now it's perfect, thanks

Btw. is it necessary to run fc-cache after changing fontconfig or it doesn't affect it at all?

Well actually some fonts are still looking awful, i guess i will get back to Infinality.
