It seems that kde is using sub-pixel hinting generally. I turned it off, but nevertheless all anti aliased fonts had been sub-pixeled. But if i turn it on, i can steer ist with the rgb,bgr,vrgb,vbgr options. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I had solve this problem with adding the following tag to the font.conf in /etc/fonts/: <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const></const> </edit> </match>
You probably want to make that change to /etc/fonts/local.conf so that it sticks. Please tell me though how this is a bug? It's something you can configure in fontconfig, so I don't think it's a kde issue.
Yes, you are right. I can add the tag also to the local.conf. Or, i should do it. And, of course you are right, that this is not really a bug. But it is a setting which is not set right. Because if you deselect sub-pixel hinting in the kde control center it is on in rgb modus nevertheless. I had to search for one week and ask for help at a forum to get the right set . So it is a difficulty for newbies to find the setting, what is not necessary. That is my opinion.
not something we'll fix on the kde side, unfortunately.
