Well, I'm glad I didn't decide to change any attributes of this bug myself. I followed the link to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13566 and discovered that the constant had been renamed to 'lcdlegacy'. I then tried that value in local.conf, and it claimed 'lcdlegacy' was invalid. Finally, I fetched the Ubuntu source and grepped for 'legacy', and found that the constant is named 'lcdfilterlegacy' in the Ubuntu packages.
This subpixel hinting method needs to be presented as a debconf option, or at least documented in some /etc/fonts/conf.avail file. -- Unable to set legacy subpixel rendering https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159434 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for libcairo in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
