I'm using 8px Tahoma font with no antialias (as in Windows XP), so in
OO.org it looks ugly. Not only in interface, in documents too. I think
it's an issue of openoffice-gnome package. The same problem was earlier
in Cedega, but has been solved.

I also experienced this after a clean install of kubuntu 6.10. The
fuzzy fonts appeared in all apps and all fonts. The fix was to change
the antialiase hinting from the default of "medium" to "full". Now
firefox, and all kubuntu apps are ok for me.

Another workaround for Firefox: enable Pango.
Create a ~/.mozilla/firefox/rc file and add the following line to it:
MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=0
restart Firefox.

Hello:
I can confirm this bug. Yesterday I updated my laptop to Edgy.
One of the first things that I say when Gnome session starts: Fonts
problems! (specially on gnome-terminal and Firefox).
I look for information about it and I discovered a solution: Go to
System->Preferences->Fonts and select
For everybody concerned about case (3) in comment 20: I filed bug
#69091, and I think my issue is at least related to (3).

You could try to create a .fonts.conf file with the following content (that's
what KDE would add if you select RGB hinting and full as the hinting style.
This makes my fonts look nice again.

Semi-random ugly font
I've got the same problem, a screenshot is at:
http://sonicated.com/misc/edgy.jpg
Nautilus is in the background and Firefox is in the foreground. I
thought deleting ~/.fonts.conf would fix the problem but that file
wasn't there.
Has anyone got any suggestions of what I could try next?

Sweet! deleting $HOME/.fonts.conf fixes it for gnome-terminal and gecko
at least. Still it's a bug though, and it didn't exist in dapper.

This strange behaviour is issue (1), which I believe this bug report was about.
I believe you only had issue (3).
However, (1) and (3) could be different consequence of the same problem, since
it seems like the same apps are affected (contents of gnome terminal).
That is:
gnome terminal looks blur
>When using full hinting, all fonts are not blurred.
>medium hinting : some fonts blurred (like gnome terminal), most not (like
>nautilus)
>slight hinting or no hinting : all fonts blurred
This is still true for me though. Strange behaviour.

Semi-random ugly font rendering in Edgy (no font h
On my computer, (1) was fixed after removing font.conf (3). I had both
Gnome & KDE installed before upgrading my distribution to Edgy. Perhaps
this caused some problems? See:
http://home.fmf.nl/~writser/ubuntu/uglyterminal.png
http://home.fmf.nl/~writser/ubuntu/zoomedin.png
for the way fonts look
Yes, (1) and (3) are definitely separate issues.
I am seeing different rendering in Firefox and gnome-terminal (1) even
though I have never had a ~/.fonts.conf file (3).

This is getting really confusing, that's why I was trying to sum it up.
I believe there are 4 different issues here:
1) Gnome terminal and firefox not rendering like other apps when medium hinting
is used
2) OpenOffice not using fontconfig settings : bug 54776
3) Fontconfig settings conflict betwe
i also had a .fonts.conf and renaming it so it's not used for fonts
helped for firefox... fonts are now much better in firefox. my
.fonts.conf was from 2004-10-23... so in my case it's not from ubuntu.
i've carried my home directory from other linux distros. the file was
probably created by mandrak
Have a look at bug #60760 - turning off autohinting has no effect -
maybe the new freetype and xft is the root of cause.

However, I believe that it's a different issue than the original one, maybe a
different bug should be opened?
Because even when both ~/.fonts.conf and Xft resources specify medium hinting,
the rendering is still different between firefox and gnome-terminal, and the
rest.
Does anyone have an idea
Well, it's not your fault, the fact that you've different way to configure
fontconfig is quite odd, and I don't know how it can handled correctly, and I
don't know why all apps don't react the same way.
The ~/.fonts.conf was most likely created by kde.
Gnome only exports Xft resources. Kde does t
Yes, I did have a ~/.fonts.conf file. I don't remember ever creating it,
and definitely didn't put it there myself while running Edgy (so it
would have been there in Dapper, but I didn't have these problems
there). I've removed it and fonts in konsole, firefox, kmail are all
fine. Thank you. Apolog
The font settings you chose in gnome preferences, "subpixel smoothing"
(subpixel + full hinting), aren't used by firefox which is apparently using
"best shapes" (grayscale + medium hinting)
Gnome exports Xft resources (see output of: xrdb -q |grep Xft)
You should see rgba=rgb (subpixel), and hint

According to several users: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=244514
the medium hinting rendering of fontconfig has changed between dapper and edgy.
What is very weird is that the behavior is inconsistent depending on the app.
The only bug here is the inconsistency when using medium hinting,
I was hasty in my previous comment. It seems that when I select “Hinting
style: Full” from KDE’s settings, I get same kind of sharp fonts than in
Dapper—at least with KDE programs. With Dapper I always used “Hinting
style: Medium”.

The same is true of Yelp, when the font is set to the default Sans.
Changing it to DejaVu Sans improves the look considerably.
