It’s not the ordering. It’s the config in 53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf The reason this file is there is that when lcddefault was introduced some of the developers weren’t happy with the look of monospace fonts in their terminal at low point sizes. So a compromise was made to move to the new way bu

[Bug 264254] Re: subpixel rendering in intrepid

One possible reason could be the ordering of the fontconfig rules. /etc/fonts/conf.d/README reads: 00 through 09 Font directories 10 through 19 system rendering defaults (AA, etc) 20 through 29 font rendering options 30 through 39 family substitution 40 th

It is in the case when I have no ~/.fonts.conf. When I have it everything is OK. I suppose I shouldn't have any .fonts.conf file if I set up font settings through Gnome gui. Especially because in this case everything except of gnome-terminal, qt apps and, of course, ugly sucking OO.org looks OK. 2

It is not just openoffice it is also QT applications (skype) and Synaptic in sudo mode (but i guess that is because the fonts.conf is in home dir). So it is not really a good workaround. Anyhow it should get fix with priority. And it is NOT a bug in openoffice! -- subpixel rendering in intrepid h
