[konsole] [Bug 482481] Konsole forces full hinting (hintfull) despite both fontconfig and KDE settings
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482481 --- Comment #7 from Matt Whitlock --- Created attachment 171664 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=171664=edit an alternative fix that doesn't override fontconfig To fix the original issue without overriding the user's font configuration, the letter spacing can be adjusted to force the horizontal advance to be an integer. See the attached patch, which completely fixes the issue on my system. I now have a normal terminal font with full hinting, a bold variant of it with no hinting, and no weird space issues. In other words, Konsole's appearance now matches how it was in KDE 5. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Thanks for the tip. Now I'm wondering if Kate/KWrite's newly uglified font rendering in KDE 6 has the same root cause… -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482481 Russell Haley changed: What|Removed |Added CC||yumpusamongus+...@gmail.com --- Comment #5 from Russell Haley --- Created attachment 170072 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=170072=edit konsole with forced hinting vs foot with hintnone In that MR, the comparison screenshot looks to have been made at 2x scale. For those of us with fewer pixels to throw at the problem, the effect of hinting is rather drastic. Observe the misshapen "f", the slight heaviness to the horizontal strokes (including double-thicc bold "n"), and the vague sense that everything is struck-through. The attached screenshot is *after* I increased the line spacing setting to 1px to make the vertical height match the unhinted Foot terminal. Anyhow, I though Freetype removed full hinting several years ago, and only supports "none" and "slight", which is hinting in the vertical axis only. That might explain why Nate encountered bug 476768? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I upgraded to Fedora 40, so Plasma 6, and the Konsole rendering of my go-to font (Inconsolata) has changed a fair bit and no longer matches the preview in the font selection dialog. It looks like bold got turned on by accident. I'm attaching a screenshot. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482481 ninj...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added CC||ninj...@gmail.com --- Comment #2 from ninj...@gmail.com --- This was done because Qt6 removed QFont::ForceIntegerMetrics, which was what previous konsole versions used to force glyphs to conform to the character cell grid of a terminal. Now, on Qt6, we enable full hinting for the same reason, see https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/911 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
