Is it just me. I upgraded to b129 (from 128a), now my fonts look
unacceptable in Firefox and Thunderbird only. The rest of the OS is
good. When I go to "System > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts" then
click on "Details", Making any changes to the font rendering,
smoothing, LCD order or anything will change the appearance everywhere
except Firefox and Thunderbird. Is this a bug? Can it get fixed some
time soon?
Responding to myself for others. Never mind I fixed it. In the not to
long ago past there were people who complained that the font rendering
was terrible in b128a. Me, I never said a thing, I though mine was
absolutely great. After updating to b129 it appears I was one to
complain. From memory, I believe it was Alan Coopersmith who stated to
remove all the linked "10-......" entries in /etc/fonts/conf.d. For me
it was just simply add the links back, all is fine for me now. Below is
what worked for me:
bash-4.0$ cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
bash-4.0$ ls -al 10*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Dec 13 01:24 10-autohint.conf
-> /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Dec 13 01:24
10-sub-pixel-bgr.conf -> /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-bgr.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Dec 13 01:24
10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf -> /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Dec 13 01:24
10-sub-pixel-vbgr.conf -> /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-vbgr.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Dec 13 01:24
10-sub-pixel-vrgb.conf -> /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-vrgb.conf
bash-4.0$
Thanks,
Paul
