Hi everyone,
First of all, please excuse my English mistakes if there's any, it is
not my primary language.
I've noticed that my Empathy setup displays every font as a highly
anti-aliased Times. I thought at first that this was somehow related to
this bug : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642313 (you can
find here a comment from me, with a screenshot showing the problem) but
it seems that my situation is a bit more complicated, and I can't tell
if it is really a bug in Empathy or just my font configuration that is
messed up. So, please let me explain it more precisely.
I'm using Arch Linux x86-64, with Gnome 3.2.1 and Empathy 3.2.1.2 from
the official repos. I'm also using freetype2-git-infinality from AUR
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49730) to have a pretty
anti-aliasing filter over my fonts, as suggested by the Arch wiki :
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration#Infinality. I
was using the local.conf file provided in the wiki (with the "Apple"
rendering style set up), which works perfectly well, but after I noticed
my issue with Empathy, I tried to switch every default serif and
sans-serif fonts to Cantarell. Even after I rebooted, I still have this
barely readable (especially within groupchats) Times font. Here's my
local.conf : http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/434629
I don't know if this is an issue with Empathy (maybe a problem with the
fallback font ?), Webkit or Infinality. I would like to know how your
Empathy setup behaves with Adium themes and if this deserves a real bug
report.
Cheers !
-- Laurent
