Hi, I always noticed that font rendering for Evolution email text differs from the font rendering of other applications, what ever theme I chose.
Now I decided to use a theme with not completely black fonts, instead of 000000 the font colour is nearly black 202020. My first thought was that there is an issue with the theme, that I did not change all font colours from this theme with a default of 5A5A5A to the wanted 202020, but seemingly I was mistaken. The fonts became darker, but due to the broken font rendering they appear brighter and as always for Evolution only, with unwanted colours caused by the rendering. https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme/issues/406#issuecomment-322733208 https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme/issues/406#issuecomment-323581648 This effect also happens when Adwaita is used. I already noticed it when I used a CRT, but I migrated to a LCD and now it's much more worse. How could I fix font rendering for Evolution? Evolution preferences first were set to use the same fonts as other applications, but since "other apps" sometimes actually use their own fonts, I selected to chose "Monospace Regular 12" for "Fixed Width Fonts", as used by other apps, but the rendering still differs. $ cat .gtkrc-2.0 | grep -v "#" [snip] gtk-xft-antialias=1 gtk-xft-hinting=1 gtk-xft-hintstyle="hintfull" gtk-xft-rgba="rgb" $ cat .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini [Settings] [snip] gtk-xft-antialias=1 gtk-xft-hinting=1 gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull gtk-xft-rgba=rgb $ cat .Xresources Xft.autohint: 0 Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.rgba: rgb Xft.dpi: 96 Regards, Ralf _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
