Several proposals have been suggested like amending ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with lcddefault, or preset 11-lcdfilter-default.conf linking to ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d or even creating ~/.Xresources
with a set of rules :
Could this be handled so that users (as I ! ) stop fiddling with system conf that will be forgotten in one month or will conflict with something else we don’t know when ?
I’m also having a problem with font rendering. I don’t know if it’s related to yesterday’s extra security update of FreeType (which wasn’t originally in this stable update), because I only noticed it today after the FreeType update and didn’t notice it after this latest stable update.
Are you also experiencing fonts breaking only on gtk applications?
Did you find a way to fix this?
Font smoothing is broken for me too, on both PC and laptop (GNOME), in some applications only (Firefox, Nautilus), and there is no $HOME/.config/fontconfig folder.
@all : I really feel bad with this problem. This shouldn’t happen on a stable release and ought to be corrected without user trying to fiddle all over the place…
It’s not the rolling question, it’s a stable release of a desktop OS.
I can agree to care for exotic stuff when updating, I’m less comfortable to have to care for font rendering…
Obviously I didn’t want to be disrespectful in your regards; but consider to open a discussion about this issue in the support section of the forum; you will get the attention of the Manjaro’s mainteiners
Well.
On my system the font-manager program added conflicting configs into $HOME/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/19-DisplayProperties.conf.
This file was generated by font-manager and it had a disabled lcdfilter option.
So I made sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/11-lcdfilter-default.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/
and also I manually enabled lcdfilter in the font-manager settings.
Don’t you think the preset link should be toward ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d ?
Anyhow, I opend this thread Fontconfig issue and think it could regroup all posts here on this matter.
@The_Quantum_Alpha : happy if you feel so (your illustration is not really convincing…)
