Hi, I installed media-fonts/roboto from asux overlay and configured /etc/fonts/local.conf as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="hinting"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintslight</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="antialias"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <test qual="any" name="size" compare="less"> <double>9.0</double> </test> <edit name="size" mode="assign"> <double>9.0</double> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <test qual="any" name="size" compare="less"> <double>10.0</double> </test> <test qual="any" name="family"> <string>monospace</string> </test> <edit name="size" mode="assign"> <double>10.0</double> </edit> </match> <alias> <family>serif</family> <default> <family>Roboto</family> </default> </alias> <alias> <family>sans-serif</family> <default> <family>Roboto</family> </default> </alias> <alias> <family>monospace</family> <default> <family>Monaco</family> </default> </alias> </fontconfig> And these are the symlinks in /etc/fonts/conf.d - 10-autohint.conf 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf 11-lcdfilter-default.conf 49-sansserif.conf 50-user.conf 51-local.conf 66-lohit-hindi.conf 66-lohit-marathi.conf But I'm facing a weird issue with the Roboto font. It matches by default to Roboto Medium, but I don't want that. Titlebar, Menubar and Toolbar texts look bold. Even the mail list in Thunderbird looks bold so I can't distinguish between read and unread mail easily. $ fc-match Roboto Roboto-Medium.ttf: "Roboto" "Medium" How to fix this? There are no user configuration files and I have configured KDE to use default system settings (sansserif, monospace families). -- Nilesh Govindarajan http://nileshgr.com
