I found a way to affect the font rendering quaity in gnome-terminal, Qt3 and Qt4: they seem to use fontconfig settings from /etc/fonts. For some strange reason, on Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 8.10, /etc/fonts/conf.d contains a link to 10-hinting-slight.conf which is equivalent to setting Hinting to Slght in the Appearance/Font dialog. Slight hinting produces very poor results and can even make the fonts have different height in pixels comparing to Medium and Full hinting.
So, the solution gnome-terminal, Qt3 and Qt4 apps is to delete /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf and put a link to /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-hinting-medium.conf or to /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf in the /etc/fonts/conf.d/ directory. Then, after logging out and logging in again, you will have the same font height and rendering quality in both GTK and in all those applications. -- Font height is not the same as in other applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
