I am using Debian testing and I have a problem with the font fixed-10. In Gnome font preference, the font fixed 8, 9, 11, 12 are all displayed correctly (96dpi). However size 10 is extremely ugly (looks like a dual width font). It is the this font that I use the most, which is pretty frustrating. Programs like GVim uses that font and they look so ugly. The only exception is gnome-terminal, which displays the font nicely and correctly. However in the terminal profile, the font preview is as ugly.
I have this file ~/.fonts.config <match target="pattern"> <!-- match family "fixed" --> <test name="family"> <string>Fixed</string> </test> <!-- make sure width wasn't specified --> <test name="width" qual="all"> <int>-1</int> </test> <!-- set the width to semicondensed to prefer 6x13 --> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> <edit name="width" mode="assign"> <const>semicondensed</const> </edit> </match> If I delete this file. The font in gnome-terminal becomes as ugly. (If I select size 9 or size 11 they look okay, they look like Fixed font, but not the size I want). Any solutions? Thanks. cx ===== my /etc/fonts/local.conf: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <include ignore_missing="yes">/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/fonts.conf</include> <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc</dir> <!-- Uncomment below to enable subpixel rendering --> <!-- <match target="font"> <test qual="all" name="rgba"> <const>unknown</const> </test> <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit> </match> --> <!-- Uncomment below to enable the freetype autohinter module --> <!-- <match target="font"> <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> --> </fontconfig> ===== my /etc/X11/fs/config: # font server configuration file # $Xorg: config.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:19 cpqbld Exp $ # allow a maximum of 10 clients to connect to this font server client-limit = 10 # when a font server reaches its limit, start up a new one clone-self = on # log messages to /var/log/xfs.log (if syslog is not used) error-file = /var/log/xfs.log # log errors using syslog use-syslog = on # turn off TCP port listening (Unix domain connections are still # permitted) no-listen = tcp # paths to search for fonts catalogue = /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ # in decipoints default-point-size = 120 # x1,y1,x2,y2,... default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100 # font cache control, specified in kB cache-hi-mark = 2048 cache-low-mark = 1433 cache-balance = 70 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
