This is likely caused by the fact that the new fontconfig version allows one to choose the default hinting style and defaults to "slight"; from your description it looks like were used to a different value. You can either change the HINTING option when building the port or create a ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with something like this: <?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'> <fontconfig> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintnone</const> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
