Bug ID: 482481 Summary: Konsole forces full hinting (hintfull) despite both fontconfig and KDE settings Classification: Applications Product: konsole Version: 24.02.0 Platform: Arch Linux OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: font Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org Reporter: borisb....@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY I upgraded to KDE 6 today and found that Konsole now renders terminal fonts with full hinting. This looks awful with some fonts. The rest of the OS (even Konsole's own Appearance window) is respecting my global fontconfig (/usr/share/local.conf) and KDE System Settings -> Fonts, both of which set the font hinting to Slight. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Make sure your system configuration is set to slight hinting. 2. Start Konsole and go to "Edit Current Profile" -> "Appearance" -> "Select Font". OBSERVED RESULT Observe live the difference between font rendering in the Appearance preview sample and the actual terminal font behind it. Bold fonts with higher sizes show more difference. Not all fonts are affected the same. EXPECTED RESULT Konsole should follow the system settings and fontconfig for font hinting. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.7.8-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Globally turning on autohinting makes it somewhat better (as in at least the rendering is the same as for the rest of the system) but is not a solution. However it does indicate that not _all_ settings are overridden by Konsole. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
