Got a wierd problem that I can't find any viable solution for in google.
I set up a new machine with etch, running kde and iceweasel.
Most of the main fonts are not anti-aliased in iceweasel. I downloaded
firefox and tried that, same result.
The funny thing is that I am running etch on another machine and I
upgraded everything to the same level, but it's not affected.
Does anyone else here know what the problem could be?
Compare the fontconfig settings on the two machines, for example by
running this command on each system:
awk '/fontconfig/,/^$/' /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
My guess is that the "enable_bitmaps" setting is responsible. You can
change all the settings by running "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config".
(Restart X after that to be sure.)
By the way, this would be a xorg thing, would it? Rather than KDE, gnome
or xfce etc?
Well it is general to X yes (rather than specific to some windowing
environment). But in fact fontconfig can be used by other apps.
Indeed fontconfig is likely being used because your system is using Xft for
fonts. If a different mechanism were in use for fonts,
then that change would likely have had no effect. (I'm pretty sure Xft is
the default on Debian, but am not 100% positive on that).
