Bug 115532 – gnome-terminal (vte) always uses anti-aliased fonts regardless of fontconfig settings

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description romek 2005-12-14 07:12:19 UTC]

I set fontconfig not to anti-alias some fonts (sizes between 8-14).
Every application respects that except gnome-terminal (and probably all using
vte widget) which anti-aliases all fonts.

gnome 2.12 from masked ebuilds on gentoo 2005.1


Reproducible: Always
