Re: Fonts quality in Desktop with Iceweasel
Hello Florian.
Disabling bitmaps and changing Xft.hinting to 1 and Hintstyle to
hintmedium is giving much more screen quality, the same than Redhat,
this was the issue. Now is Ok.
Many thanks for your help.

I would try to disable bitmap fonts. (The rest looks good to me.) You
can run (as root)
dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
and choose No for Enable bitmapped fonts by default? (This is the
last question that you will be asked.) Then you can restart X and check
if this improves things. (Normally it does.)

Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.dpi:96.00
Xft.hinting:0
Xft.hintstyle: hintnone
Xft.rgba: none

You can try if you like font hinting by running (under X)
echo -e Xft.hinting: 1\nXft.hintstyle: hintfull | xrdb -merge
You can also try hintslight and hintmedium instead of hintfull.
You have to restart iceweasel after making a change to see the effect.
Some people even prefer to turn off antialiasing. This is all somewhat
subjective and also depends on which fonts and which display you use.
Once you find your preferred settings you can make them permanent by
putting them into ~/.Xresources or by using the GUI font setup tool of
your desktop environment.

Xor config is ok, so, I would like know what more can be needed tweak. Ar you using KDE or Gnome? Depending on which WM and DE you are using there are different ways to tweak the fonts. I'm guessing that you use Gnome, so one of the Gnome experts need to answer your question because I am a KDE user. Of course there are CLI utilities too, but I am not very experienced with using them, other than the very handy (as root) dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig command. That might be what you are looking for. Normally when one installs msttcorefonts, this is run automatically, but YMMV.

Please post the output of the following two commands:
awk '/fontconfig/,/^$/{if (/^(Na|Va)/) print}' /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
xrdb -query | grep Xft
(The second command should be run under X.)
