Bug#381232: firefox: No font anti-aliasing (anymore)

Yes, it would - thanks for the analysis. Changing that assumption appears to resolve the issue, as I understand it. I've committed the fix (and some others - antialiasing being on/off wasn't the only issue I found with KDE's font defaults) so the next kdebase upload should resolve matters.

Hello, I was hit by the same bug with firefox and kde in current Debian Testing. For me, it helped to set the environment variable MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO to 1. See also Bug #377879. Holger Mense -- Holger Mense http://www.project2501.de signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#381232: firefox: No font anti-aliasing (anymore)
I think I've narrowed down the cause of this problem a little more. I believe it is triggered by upgrades of kdebase (which contains kcontrol, the KDE Control Center) to 4:3.5.4-1 or later. The changelog for that release contains the following entry: * New upstream release: + fixes setting of the xrdb resource Xft.antialias to always match what's configured in the control center, not in ~/.qt/qtrc. (Closes: #377147) (Incidentally, #377147 was filed by me.) I used Sergey's workaround successfully, but took snapshots of my .kde directory at several steps to see if I could narrow down the issue. 1) DOT-KDE-2006.08.13.20.51.45.begin 2) DOT-KDE-2006.08.13.20.52.29.anti-aliasing-disabled 3) DOT-KDE-2006.08.13.20.54.29.anti-aliasing-disabled-re-logged-in 4) DOT-KDE-2006.08.13.20.55.02.anti-aliasing-re-enabled 5) DOT-KDE-2006.08.13.20.56.33.anti-aliasing-re-enabled-re-logged-in The file of interest appears to be .kde/share/config/kdeglobals.

At any rate, my principle of least surprise was violated. In my case, when I first opened kcontrol after upgrading to 4:3.5.4-2 (step 1, above), the anti-alias box was checked, indicating that anti-aliasing was on, despite the lack of an XftAntialias line in my kdeglobals. Unfortunately, I did not get to learn if and how the user's kdeglobals file would be updated if kcontrol were not launched. Would it make sense for kdebase to assume anti-aliasing is on in the absence of an XftAntialias parameter setting in kdeglobals? (Imagine me looking beseechingly at Chrisopher Martin here.) Eric, I won't reassign this bug to kdebase for you, but I personally am persuaded that it should be. -- G.

I have the same bug on all Debian unstable computers I updated lately. Apparently, the bug seems to have shown up when some of the libraries firefox depends on were updated a few days ago. PS: funny thing, thunderbird text antialiasing works with no problem. Tanguy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
