Unfortunately, the upstream "fix" fixes only the GNOME path and not the fontconfig one. It was just beyond my imagination, that it can matter, which way you specify the hinting settings.
A valid reason to mess around with hinting settings at the fontconfig level is a wish to have a consistent font rendering not only in GNOME but also for the GDM in case of users who find antialiased fonts disgusting. For now, they still have to choose between their favorite appearance and decent printing. Anyway, the core issue is not fixed yet. ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #490475 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490475 ** Changed in: firefox Status: Fix Released => Unknown ** Changed in: firefox Remote watch: Mozilla Bugzilla #403513 => Mozilla Bugzilla #490475 -- Wrong kerning in printed pages if font hinting is set to "medium" or "full" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185700 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
