I've been configuring my fonts, and RGB smoothing does not appear to
work no matter in how many places I configure it.
I've done my homework and the closest posts to my issue that I found
were the following:
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=130565999007881&w=2
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=129870303523612&w=2
Neither seemed to get a reply back in 2011. The post to misc does not
quite describe the problem I'm having as I don't get RGB smoothing
*anywhere*, neither in GTK programs nor simply Xft programs such as cwm,
but it's sufficiently similar that I thought I would include it for
reference.
The post to ports is closer: Just as mentioned there, I know for a fact
my font configurations are being read, as I have hinting set to
hintslight, and it produces a noticeable difference from the default
(full) hinting. However, despite everything in place to enable RGB
smoothing, it shows up nowhere.
I'm on -current, last fetched and upgraded 2016-03-16 around 07:00 UTC,
though this issue has been ongoing since at least the snapshot from 7
days prior.
