** Attachment added: "Screenshot: Blurry fonts with "empty" ~/.fonts.conf" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4940056/blurry-after-appearance.png
** Description changed: After a default Kubuntu installation, fonts look nicely anti-aliased and still clear (see attachment clear-before-appearance.png). But if I add a ~/.fonts.conf (and log out and in), they get completely blurry (see blurry-after-appearance.png), even if the ~/.fonts.conf is empty between <fontconfig> </fontconfig>. This caught me, because the Kubuntu system settings created a ~/.fonts.conf when I viewed the Appearance section - (see the linked bug). + (see the bug #69085). If you think it is a mistake to have a quasi empty ~/.fonts.conf present, or the one that Kubuntu System Settings writes out is wrong (see linked bug: fonts.diff), then this bug against fontconfig may be rejected. But I assume, that if one setting is not present in ~/.fonts.conf, it is taken from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, so an "empty" ~/.fonts.conf should not hurt. This bug seems to have been encountered by various users who have added their information to #63403. Especially comment 20 explains this, and the following comments also conclude, that maybe for mentioned case (3) there should be a separate bug filed. Maybe my bug report fulfills this need. -- Fonts look blurry if ~/.fonts.conf (even empty one) is present https://launchpad.net/bugs/69091 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
