Anyone care to share their fonts.conf?

Hi guys,
Just finished setting up my Arch development box and it was a pleasure doing so (man Arch makes life easy).
The only thing I dislike is the default font rendering.
* DPI = 96x96 in xorg (xdpyinfo also shows 96 DPI)
* Sub pixel hinting = RGB (FULL)
* nvidia installed
* I have installed all the necessary font packages (ms fonts, deja vu, etc). 
* using XFCE4
I think that this could be fixed with some tweaking in fonts.conf (don't currently have one).  Anyone care to share some tips (wiki doesn't seem to have a lot on this topic).
Thanks,
Adam

  • Anyone care to share their experiences recording lectur

    I want to record lectures digitally. Should I try using my n200 with an external mic to do that? Where can I get a small, inexpensi've mic that puts out a line level signal? Should I instead buy a separate digital recorder? I would like to keep the budget under $00 if possible(for recorder and mic), although I might be willing to spend up to $200 if necessary to get good results. Is anyone here willing to give me some advice?

  • Anyone care to share their creative HDV work?

    Is there a special forum (that's I've missed) where people post links to their creative HDV work using their HDV cameras and Production Premier CS3 or parts thereoff.
    I'm interested in people using a PC and Adobe software to achieve their end results, and possibly some commentary on what they had to go through to get there.
    Thanks,
    Shiv.

    I don't know of such a place, but you can see my latest "play" project inline here:
    http://www.uwolchallenge.com/challenge4/SLG_UC4_waterinmotion.mov
    I had a little trouble getting it all in under the time limit, and the native sound in the background was coipyrighted music, so I had to replace it. This is just a collection of clips with a theme more than it is a "movie". It is a 60MB download. So "Save Target As".
    We used to have a forum for such things, but now I would suggest using the lounge.

  • Anyone like to share their favorite custom EQ numbers for the Zen XT

    i was wondering what was a good EQ setting in the Zen XTRA, in the Custom Eaqualizer, could someone share their favorite settings? Like listing the numbers for each of the bands? thanks =) Jordan

    I would like to ressurect this topic since I was going to post a simular topic and question.
    I've learned that the output of the EQ settings depend on the volume level type of earphones you use with them. The Zen Xtra seems to have its own default EQ when the EAX is not enabled. I was wondering what were those settings? Because if you enable the EAX and set the EQ to 0000 the sound is different from just having the EAX turned off. It seems the Zen Xtra is pre EQed for its included Ear Buds I guess. And while it might sound ok, It leaves more high end earphones sounds really muddy.
    I 'm current using the Zen Xtra with the Weston UM2 earphones, and I'm experimenting with the EQ settings. Because of the low and high details the UM2s are capible of capturing, I have to adjust the EQ setting accordingly. I currently have the EQ at -3 -7 2 2 and the volume level at least has to be at the mid point around 4 or 5.
    Does anyone else use the UM2s with the Zen Xtra? If so what are your EQ settings?

  • Anyone care to share selfmade libreoffice 3.6 packages?

    hello forum,
    I just discovered that libreoffice 3.6.0 and maybe 3.6.1 are not going to be packaged for our repos. The package mantainer provided the pkgbuild for 3.6.0, but I only have access to a first generation netbook and I can't really build libreoffice with that. Is there some pious soul who cares to share already compiled packages, maybe with mediafire os similar services?
    Specifically, I need:
    libreoffice-common
    libreoffice-en-US
    libreoffice-gnome
    libreoffice-sdk
    libreoffice-writer
    all for i686, of course.
    I know 3.6.0 isn't ready for production use but there is the smart art import feature that I badly need.
    I apologize if I'm breaking some forum rules with this post.

  • Anyone care to share a good channelstrip setting for gospel choir vocals???

    Getting ready to mix a gospel choir recording project and will do most of it in Logic 7. Wondering if anyone had any good chanelstrip settings tips to use on the choir. Thanks

    There is no such thing. Every group/song/mic/preamp/etc. is going to be different for any two people.
    In fact, my advice would be to record them without any processing at all and do your compression/EQ/whatever when you mix.
    And for setting levels, have them sing the loudest section of any given song and set your levels accordingly. And then, lower the input volume at least 6 dB more (cuz no matter how loud a group sings "on cue", when they get in that performance zone they might get much louder than their test level would indicate.
    Hope it goes well.

  • Anyone care to share how to reverse "software instrument" cymbal?

    Thanks!

    Another way to do this which might be faster:
    solo the track you want to bounce.
    Optional: Set up an arrange page "loop" to the length of the audio you'd like to bounce, if it's just part of a track you want to bounce
    click the "bounce" button in the OUT 1-2 channel strip.
    Select "automatically load bounced audio" option (or whatever it's called) when the bounce dialog box comes up.
    Now the file you want is in your audio bin on the right!

  • Has anyone had to abandon their current voice plan when activating iphone?

    Has anyone had to change their current voice plan when activating the iphone? I want to get the iphone, but the restrictions are killing me. I can't apply my 24% business discount, no MMS capabilities, no video and the ATT rep told me that I would have to change my current voice plan. The voice plan is the biggest issue. I can live with the others.
    I current have a family share plan with 850 anytime minutes (unlimited nights and weekends and M2M) for $59.99/month. This plan is way better than anything ATT is currently offering. Has anyone had to deal with this?

    I was told when I bought the phone from the Rep at the AT&T store that I would get a 15% discount off my bill for work.. knowing she sold me an iPhone. Emails have went back and forth since October where she said I had to wait a couple of montsh for it process. After calling AT&T customer service and asking them why that my discount column on the bill shows 0.00 and going to the store I bought it and talking to another rep, they both said it doesn't apply to iPhone accounts. After sending another email to the original rep, she goes back on her word and confirms it's not happening. Thank God its a cool phone, otherwise I'd hang up AT&T over that $15/mo I've been missing out on.

  • Has anyone had trouble with their bluetooth headset? (even after pairing)

    Has anyone had trouble with their bluetooth headset? I have a Motorola H700 that pairs with the iphone but takes about 10 seconds after i hit send for the connection between the phone and the headset to be established. I also get allot of static when the headset is more than 3 feet away from the phone. (this headset worked perfectly @ about 40' with a Motorola Razr I had)

    Hi jmsemac,
    I understand you are experiencing some issues with Bluetooth connections. I have linked to an article which provides some troubleshooting steps you may want to explore:

  • Strange characters on websites after setting preferred in fonts.conf

    After setting preferred fonts in fonts.conf, websites are displaying all sorts of misplaced characters like arabic glyphs, a Tux icon, english glyphs that are out-of-place, like such:
    http://imageshack.com/a/img661/548/tIVwdh.png
    I'm just using one prefered font for serif and one for sans. But I don't understand why arabic and english glyphs would be appearing. Do I need to add a symbol font to my preferred fonts? Or what? Thx.
    -- mod edit: read the Forum Etiquette and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/For … s_and_Code [jwr] --

    You're editing /etc/fonts/fonts.conf?, because that's supposed to break the configuration. The wiki-recommended way is to create a file in /etc/fonts/conf.d such as 60-preferences.conf, and put the preferences there. Mine which works on my box contains
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
    <fontconfig>
    <alias>
    <family>sans-serif</family>
    <prefer>
    <family>Ubuntu</family>
    </prefer>
    </alias>
    <alias>
    <family>serif</family>
    <prefer>
    <family>Ubuntu</family>
    </prefer>
    </alias>
    <alias>
    <family>monospace</family>
    <prefer>
    <family>Ubuntu Mono</family>
    </prefer>
    </alias>
    </fontconfig>
    Additionally, if you edited /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, delete or move it somewhere else, and reinstall the default fonts.conf by running
    pacman -S fontconfig

  • Has anyone tried to have their glass screen repaired on the ipod touch

    I've gotten a lot of results searching for repair on the glass screen, even sites that have kits for doing it yourself, has anyone tried to have their screen repaired this way?  I know about the trade in offers, but I've seen repairs as low as $25.

    Some users posted that they did it themselves successfully.
    Some tried themselves and ended up not working at all afterwards.
    Some had a local third-party do it and it did not work satisfactorily afer it was returned.

  • Has anyone had issues with their itunes not coming up?

    Has anyone had issues with their itunes not coming up?  I keep getting error message 13014.  I just bought a new classic ipod and am not sure if this is the problem.

    Hi
    Your new iPod has certain operating system requirements. Does your iMac meet those requirements?

  • Does anyone know what the default font is for MacMail?

    Does anyone know what the default font is for the Mail program? My son changed my mail font and I want to change it back, but I can't remember what the original default is! Anyone? Thanks!

    I rarely use Mail (normally use Gmail in Safari) so I am 99.99% sure mine is still at the default. It is Helvetica 12.
