Hi,
can I suggest replacing Bitstream Vera with DejaVu? Bitstream Vera fonts
have been unmaintained for more than 12 years and have a lot of hinting
issues, whereas DejaVu fonts are a very popular and well maintained fork
of them and have a very nice hinting. It might fix your issue and you
won't notice the difference.
Ok, thank you for the suggestion. My how the years fly by. I now
have DejaVu running in emacs and it's not bad, but not quite as good
as Bitstream Vera. If it solves the other font issues I can live with
it. I'm in the middle of bringing up 11/stable and then I have to
rebuild 1000+ ports so I'll start back again on fonts (sigh) if I need
to once that's done.
Best,
Russell

Hi,
On 10/stable amd64, the recent fontconfig update makes the fonts used
in thunderbird, firefox, (u)xterm, and emacs quite a bit uglier. The
font strokes seem to be thicker and fuzzier. Emacs I fixed by
reinstalling bitstream-vera, but (u)xterm use that and they're still
broken. I ran fc-cache -f, but no change. I turned off antialiasing
via /usr/local/etc/fonts/local.conf and that made the strokes nice and
thin but overall even uglier.
Any ideas/pointers on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Russell
