Hello, I have been trying to have good looking fonts in Debian. What I found it seems that Firefox ignores dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config.
It is not case for Chromium. After playing with native/autohinting configuration it seems that it is difficult to have all apps looking good, because some things can use TrueType fonts which looks good with autohinting and others with native. You can switch gnome fonts depending on your setting, but you do not know if web page uses TrueType or font which looks good with native So the idea. Why not detect if it is TrueType font or native font and use appropriate hinting method for given font. Cheers, Marek Mosiewicz http://marekmosiewicz.pl
