We removed them because it didn't make sense to have all of them present,
since they give conflicting settings - "My pixels are ordered Blue/Green/Red
left-to-right, and Red/Green/Blue left-to-right, and Blue/Green/Red top to
bottom and Red/Green/Blue top to bottom." - and the default configuration
shouldn't assume which is right for your hardware. Unless your monitor is
possessed such that it's head is spinning constantly at a high speed, all
four cannot be true simultaneously. You should pick the subset that's
right for your system if you want to customize things with fonts.conf files.
I'm a bit puzzled with the way this thread is going. Are folks
seriously suggesting that all users should manually create symbolic
links in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ after having installed OpenSolaris as a
prerequisite for having acceptable looking fonts in Firefox?
I started this thread because my Firefox/Thunderbird fonts looked
horrible. The after I linked the above entries it looked great, so I
figured I'd post a follow up to help other people getting the same results.
If I go to "System > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts" why doesn't it
add these entries. It wasn't my intention to start a debate about
rendering.
