Comment #28 on issue 13185 by a...@chromium.org: Ugly font rendering on linux http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13185
marek.matulka: we pickup the font config from XSETTINGS, we ignore fonts.conf for many things at the moment (inc hinting/subpixel settings). Personally, I've no plans to work on that at the moment. You mention that you're running Fedora: Fedora's FreeType library is compiled without subpixel support, so we don't do subpixel on Fedora. I'm aware that some other applications use subpixel mode on Fedora, I can only imagine that they're doing their own subpixel rendering from the splines. We certainly don't. The easy solution is to find an RPM for FreeType which includes subpixel support. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
