All my CJK fonts are not anti-aliased when their size is below 22 points (21 pt is not anti-aliased, 22+ pt are anti-aliased). I'm talking specifically about Sazanami Gothic or Kochi Gothic japanese fonts. I've tried changing my /etc/fonts/local.conf, my ~/.fonts.conf and found out that no matter what changes I do, nothing in my fonts display changes - at all! For example, I've tried to enable/disable sub-pixel rendering (I've got a laptop), autohinting, antialiasing (following many threads in forums), but no matter what changes I make, the fonts display the same everywhere (I've tried looking at them with magnification). strace shows that programs indeed read /etc/fonts/local.conf and .fonts.conf but I see no changes from ANY modifications. I even moved /etc/fonts to /etc/fonts~ and still - no changes. I don't know what's the problem here, but I'd surely like to get my japanese fonts anti-aliased for ALL sizes, they look better to me this way (everything works this way on my other PC running slackware (xorg-x11, too)). I also would like to try out how the stuff would look without sub-pixel rendering (judging by the looks of my fonts with magnification - i see different colors, it's always enabled). I've tried many different font configs, for example (as /etc/fonts/local.conf): <fontconfig> <match target="font"> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit> </match> </fontconfig> There are no entries in my current configs that disable anti-alias for any fonts. my software versions x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2 media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1 media-libs/fontconfig-2.3.2 my emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r1 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.9 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O3 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O3 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirror.aiya.ru/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.linux.ee/pub/gentoo/distfiles/ ftp://ftp.rhnet.is/pub/gentoo/" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="" LINGUAS="en ru" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac acpi alsa anthy apache2 avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 canna caps cardbus cdr cjk crypt cups curl dba dts dvd dvdr emboss encode esd fam fbcon flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gimpprint gnome gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imagemagick ipv6 jack java javascript jpeg ladspa lcd libg++ libwww mad matroska mikmod mmx mmxext mng motif mozilla moznocompose moznoirc mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl oscar oss pam pcre perl php png ppds python qt quicktime readline rtc samba sdl spell sqlite sse sse2 ssl svg svgz tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode userlocales utf8 vorbis wifi win32codecs xml2 xosd xprint xv yahoo zlib linguas_en linguas_ru userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LDFLAGS Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Has anyone read this bug report?
I can't use my apps without anti-aliasing, complete eyestrain! My other linux system running slackware anti-aliases these fonts just fine.
Screaming for attention only gets me annoyed and annoyance on my side gets your bug on ignored.
Well, sorry about that, I just wanted to be sure that this bug is noticed at all - there were no replies/comments whatsoever.
You're not supposed to edit fonts.conf; the changes aren't permanent. fonts.conf even tells you that within the file. If you want to make those kinds of changes, you have to make them to /etc/fonts/local.conf . Invalid bug!
Seems you didn't read my message attentively. Quotes: I've tried changing my /etc/fonts/local.conf, my ~/.fonts.conf and found out that no matter what changes I do, nothing in my fonts display changes - at all! ... I've tried many different font configs, for example (as /etc/fonts/local.conf): <fontconfig> <match target="font"> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit> </match> </fontconfig>
is this still a problem with recent fontconfigs ?
Installed latest software, including X.org 7.0 today. Everything is working ok now. Hurrah! I guess the bug should be resolved.
ok
