I think we will need a thiird opinion on this because I change the font rendering on my computer *not* to have any hinting, and you seem to prefer it with full hinting. The default is just in the middle, which causes too much fuzziness for you, but it's not smooth enough for me :) I will let this bug open to see if someone else has an idea what to do next.
Instead of using a .fonts.conf file, you can use the Appearance preferences as it controls the same settings. If you want to make sure to reset to the default font rendering settings, you can run the following command in the Terminal: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/font_rendering ** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- Desktop: all black text has color "bleeding" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369275 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
