Could this be a bug of libcairo? Because after comment one line of code in libcairo, the hintstyle sets in ~/.fonts.conf makes effect. I reported it to libcairo, Bug #209256, but got no response.
I'd like to render my fonts in different hintstyles. To be precise, I have chinese font and western language fonts. For the chinese font, I'd like it to be rendered in hintfull, but for other fonts, I'd prefer hintslight. Ok, I configured in the fontconfig file, but it didn't make any change. All the fonts are in the same hintstyle, depending on the configuration in gnome-appearance-properties. I googled for quite a long time and finally I got one solution. In the file cairo-ft-font.c, in function _cairo_ft_options_merge, just comment the following line: // if (options->base.hint_style == CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_DEFAULT) and recompile, now everything works fine. The fonts are rendered according to the hintstyles configured in fontconfig. I don't know if this is really a bug of libcairo. If I'm wrong, please accept my apology. -- fontconfig does not honor hintslight, hintmedium, hintfull https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200707 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
