Package: fontconfig Version: 2.8.0-2.1 Severity: important Tags: upstream I tried a lot to get a proper font rendering. It is quite acceptable now after a long road of configuration. But still, with »full« and »medium« hinting, there are some hinting/subpixel rendering errors (not in »light«/»hintslight« hinting mode). In fact, »medium« and »full« hinting might even be 100% the same — as it seems to me. And with »hintslight« fonts are to blurry (for me).
What I did: 1. fix-dpi-kdm to correct DIP settings for my monitor. → See http://manual.aptosid.com/en/sys-admin-gen-en.htm#fonts: 2. apt-get install --reinstall --yes -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confmiss -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confnew fontconfig fontconfig-config 3. Get a proper version of cairo from experimental → See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555722 4. Find a suitable .fonts.conf (yeah, for sure not perfect now → if you have any tips, I'd be happy if you send them to me): <?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'> <fontconfig> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="rgba"> <const>rgb</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="hinting"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintmedium</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter"> <const>lcddefault</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <test compare="not_eq" name="slant" qual="any"> <const>roman</const> </test> <test compare="less" name="weight"> <const>medium</const> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintslight</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="antialias"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <test compare="more_eq" name="size" qual="any"> <double>15</double> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintslight</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <test compare="more_eq" name="pixelsize" qual="any"> <double>16</double> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintslight</const> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> So it's nearly perfect, but still there are these hinting errors → see attached picture ("Rü" and "NRW"). Don't know whether this is a fontconfig error. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-0.slh.5-aptosid-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages fontconfig depends on: ii fontconfig-config 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime fontconfig recommends no packages.
