It isn't that simple. With what you can get from dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config, the fonts don't look too great and they look really awful in emacs-frames. Following the instructions on [1], placing stuff into ~/.fonts.conf.d like ,---- | <?xml version="1.0"?> | <match target="font"> | <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"> | <bool>false</bool> | </edit> | </match> | | <match target="font"> | <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"> | <const>rgb</const> | </edit> | </match> | | <match target="font"> | <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter"> | <const>lcddefault</const> | </edit> | </match> | | <match target="font"> | <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> | <bool>true</bool> | </edit> | </match> `---- ... and "Emacs.FontBackend: xft" into ~/.Xresources finally gives good results (on a tft monitor). There's probably even room for improvement (and it's up to what you prefer). I just haven't bothered with it any more yet because the difference is like night and day already. It's arguable whether there should be some more options given by fontconfig-config, including the ability to set user-specific defaults. --- On a side note, the tendency of splitting configurations into numerous little files really should be stopped. It only makes it harder and harder to find out what's going on :( The Debian pages I could find about this weren't very good. BTW, is that only me, or does it become increasingly difficult to keep a Debian system configured the way you want to because things become ever more cryptic and hidden? Or is that only due to hard- and software becoming more powerful and complex?
