Bug ID: 504835
Summary: Opentype bitmap (.otb) fonts, like Terminus, are
invisible in gtk applications when font hinting is set
to "None"
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: yumpusamongus+...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. (on Fedora) install terminus-fonts package
2. Configure a GTK app (gvim, mousepad, gedit, gnome-terminal, etc.) to use
Terminus font.
3. Open System Settings / Text & Fonts / Fonts, and set "Hinting" to "None"
4. Restart the GTK app.
OBSERVED RESULT
Text is invisible.
EXPECTED RESULT
Text is visible (and rendered in Terminus).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Fedora Linux 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0
Kernel Version: 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Apologies for reporting as general/unspecified, but I don't know what
components are implicated here. Maybe systemsettings?
I have a *hunch* that maybe whatever passes fontconfig parameters should be
doing something like "hinting=true + hinstyle=hintnone" instead of
"hinting=false", or vice-versa.
