It's broken for various different reasons in builds >= 124 and 125
(bugs in Fontconfig 2.7.1).
There are several workarounds you could try:
1. There is some XML at the bottom of this message. Please save it as
a file named
/etc/fonts/local.conf
on your box.
2. A few things to re-configure -- as root:
%> svcadm disable gdm2-login
%> svcadm disable fc-cache
%> cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/
%> ln -sf ../conf.avail/10-autohint.conf
%> ln -sf ../conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf
%> /usr/bin/fc-cache --really-force --verbose
%> svcadm enable fc-cache
%> svcadm enable gdm2-login
One other configuration detail which I know has helped with some
configurations (but not all) is the following:
In file
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/49-sun-preuser.conf
Try commenting out the following chunk of XML:
<match target="font">
<test name="lang" compare="contains">
<string>zh</string>
<string>ko</string>
<string>ja</string>
</test>
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
which would become
<!--
<match target="font">
<test name="lang" compare="contains">
<string>zh</string>
<string>ko</string>
<string>ja</string>
</test>
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
-->
Please remember that, after every configuration change, you have to do
the fc-cache and gdm2-login magic incantation. :-)
Two new fontconfig bugs were fixed in 2.7.3. I am testing this version
now and i'll integrate it if it does indeed fix this brokenness.
