Font corruption in GTK apps only

For a day or so now I have been seeing quite bad font corruption in GTK apps -- gtk-demo and Chromium both have this problem. QT apps are not affected. Forcing a font cache rebuild with `sudo fc-cache -rf` did not help the situation, and neither did reinstalling the affected fonts.
I did not upgrade or install any packages between the font rendering being fine, and it being corrupted (see the screenshot).

Any ideas?

I've seen corruption like this with a lot of cairo apps because the text to be rendered is sent to a buggy EXA driver. Does text look better if you turn off EXA acceleration?

  • [NEARLY SOLVED] font rendering in gtk apps problem after last upgrade

    Im' using KDE, cairo-lcd, libxft-lcd... my fonts looked beautifully, but now they look horrible...
    After last upgrade my gtk apps (firefox, thunderbird) render fonts in an ugly way...
    I've tried to revert to pango 1.16.5 with no lucky result (the same problem)...

    I think the spacing now is correct, while before it was wrong. The only "problem" is that you got used to a bad font rendering, and now that it has changed for better you feel like it's different and don't like it.
    Really, *most* of the problems that people find in Linux's fonts are just because they are used to the awful default fonts from Windows XP. Yes, people can even get used to those fonts and believe they're good!!! And when they see correct fonts in Linux they think they're bad...
    What I would do is remove the MS TTF fonts. They work bad in Windows and worse in Linux. You should use Bitstream Vera or DejaVu if you want good quality fonts (especially in web pages).
    But, then again, you might think that they look wrong just because you're not used to it... Oh, well...
    What does correct font / correct spacing mean ?
    IMO, that doesn't make any sense, because that's a totally subjective matter, like many other things in this world.
    BTW, I love how fonts look in Windows, and I think that must be the only thing MS got right. Thus, I'm using ms fonts in linux, and a rendering as close as possible (no autohinting or antialiasing or subpixel rendering).
    Similarly, I could find a woman beautiful that you would find ugly or just average. We are all different, and it's better that way

  • Gnome splash screen and gtk-apps in awesome huge fonts.

    Hi all,
    I installed awesome wm the other day and for some reason all GTK-apps have huge fonts. GDM and the gnome splash screen have the same issue. I'm thinking this is a DPI issue but I wouldn't know where to start looking. Could someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks.

    In the meantime I swapped over to KDEMOD again, but I am still not satisfied. I prefer a mix of QT and GTK+ applications, and whatever I tried, they just do not look the same if running them in KDE or XFCE4.
    Maybe I should try running a WM instead of a DE, after some reading I am very tempted to go for Openbox.
    Can somebody running just a WM comment on the results, when mixing QT & GTK+ apps?
    I use Openbox and don't have any ugly looking apps. Granted, I think the only QT app I use is opera though

  • Weird font issues transitioning from KDE to GTK apps

    I'm having some strange issues happening between programs. Firefox and Pidgin, two GTK apps, can render kanji symbols fine. However, if I attempt the same in Konqueror or Konsole, they render as boxes.
    Clearly I have the right fonts. What do I do to make Konqueror read them properly?

    Justin, Try the following:
    1) Quit all open applications.
    2) If you have 'Helvetica Fractions', 'Times Phonetic' or 'Rougue Stencil-Type' fonts installed, delete them.
    3) Delete your fonts caches with *Font Finagler*, FontNuke or OnyX +(or with whatever utility you normally use)+
    *Font Finagler <http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/> (this is the BEST utility)*
    FontNuke <http://www.jamapi.com/pr/fn/>
    OnyX <http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html>
    4) Restart your Mac
    5) Open your Font Book->Edit menu 'Select All' fonts - from the File menu select 'Validate Fonts'
    from the Edit menu select 'Resolve Duplicates'
    Good luck,
    Tom

  • Only GTK apps can print, any other app (including lp) appears "held"

    The jobs are "held", have 0k size, and when I release them, they disappear. I'm using cups-usblp (as otherwise my Epson printer isn't detected) and gutenprint drivers.
    The relevant log lines (log level warn, and I just looked for anything suspicious) should be:
    E [27/Mar/2012:19:03:58 +0200] cupsdReadClient: 16 IPP Read Error!
    This is when I submit the job with a non-gtk app.
    [27/Mar/2012:19:04:38 +0200] [Job 64] Aborting job because it has no files.
    This appears when I "release" the job in the HTTP interface.
    With GTK apps (such as evince or firefox), everything works flawlessly.
    Does anybody have any ideas?

  • Font corruption

    Hello everyone,
    since a long time, I've been experiencing slight font corruption in Gecko powered applications (Firefox/Thunderbird), that were going away when highlighting the culprit characters. Lately I've been getting it, except that it's worse, doesn't go away (I suspect the new GTK or kernel) and happened in Geany too.
    Xorg logs don't have any errors and dmesg only show
    radeon 0000:01:00.0: Packet0 not allowed!
    repeatidly. The issue doesn't seems to be a hardware problem since it only happens with specific applications. I tried switching from Glamor to EXA, without success and memtest86 says that my RAM is okay.
    Using radeonSI with an AMD radeon R9 280X (7970).
    A picture of the problem.

  • Font rendering in GTK

    I am having sporadic font issues with GTK applications. Example:
    http://i.imgur.com/wJa2839.jpg
    There is no identifyable trigger, but it appears to be universal (e.g. pidgin is currently displaying the same types of black boxes). Additionally, in GTK lists, some items disappear (e.g. some of my folder names in Sylpheed go missing) until I move the cursor and trigger some sort of tooltip.
    I'm running the Enlightenment desktop from the official packages and no other obvious potential patches / apps that I can investigate.

    Hello, a few weeks ago I installed kde and when I open firefox- only occurs in firefox ( no google-chrome)- this happens to me  in some characters::
    At first I thought it was a matter of rendering fonts, I have installed infinality-bundle, I made a comment in the thread bohoomil:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162098&p=57
    ..... this told me that he believed that this is issue drivers not rendering fonts ... I do not know exactly why this problem occurs , it may be a problem of firefox with drivers "mesa" (Open Source Drivers) .
    My graphic card and drivers card is:
    [hector@archkde ~]$ inxi -Gx
    Graphics: Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Bonaire XTX [Radeon R7 260X]

    GLX Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on AMD BONAIRE
    GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 10.3.2 Direct Rendering: Yes
    I try dissabiling "Hardware Aceleration" in Firefox and customize the values to graphic card (20-radeon.conf).. but unfortunately this did not work ...
    Note: I think most cases occurs :

  • How to set minimum font size in mail app?

    How can I set a minimum font size in mail app? I have received mails that have a font size that seems to be smaller than 9pt which results being nearly unreadable. Sure its possible to increase the font size by pressing cmd + "+" but this setting isn't remembered for the next time I open these mails. Prior to Mavericks there was a solution to write the minimum font size to the defaults. Anything similar for Yosemite?

    No, this only applies to the font size for the header displayed above the mail content and the font type and size of the Rich Text mails your are composing. With this setting you cannot modify the font size or type of received messages.

  • [solved]Fontconfig problems (Ugly GTK Apps)

    So I just installed the LCD filter patched packages on my new comp, but I'm trying to determine why some of my GTK apps still look really bad..

    Hey there.
    When I first installed arch, x11, xmonad, and gtk, the fonts looked like crap on my screen too. I ran over a ~/.Xdefaults setup that included:
    ! Xft settings ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Xft.dpi: 96
    Xft.antialias: true
    Xft.rgba: rgb
    Xft.hinting: true
    Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
    After restarting X, the ugly fonts were gone. I also switched the fonts used in gtk (using lxappearance) to the microsoft cleartype fonts (yeah yeah freedom hater). Don't forget you have to source ~/.Xdefaults from ~/.xinitrc like so:
    # make sure the X Defaults gets loaded
    xrdb ~/.Xdefaults
    Also note, lxappearance is a great app for changing gtk+ themes.

  • Font licensing for Air apps for iOS and Android

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to shift into the app design world after leaving academia and I'm currently working on a couple of 'portfolio' apps for some friends of mine. One thing I'm completely confused upon is Font Licensing and I'm really hoping someone can clear this up for me. From what I've seen on the net, it seems that a lot of people just use fonts and don't bother with any licensing. I've always thought that if the font is there to choose from in Flash/Photoshop etc then you can use it for whatever you want without concern - but I've never released anything to the 'public'. This doesn't seem to be the case though and from what I've seen, Font sellers expect thousands per year to use their fonts. Do all of those developers of free or low cost apps on the app store really pay tens of thousands of dollars each year for font licenses? How can they afford to?
    I just want to use some nice looking fonts for some things and as a newbie to the app development world, I can't afford to pay crazy amounts for fonts. How should I limit my font choice and how do I know which fonts I can use? Also, I got an email recently about 'Adobe Typekit' soon being included in my Adobe CC subscription with access to thousands of fonts. What does this mean? There are loads of fonts on the Typekit website, does my CC subscription mean I can use any of those fonts to my heart's content or is it just some syncing thing?
    I'd really appreciate some info on this as I'm completely confused and any discussions I've found about font licenses seem to be by people who either don't give a crap and use whatever fonts they find without paying a dime or people that have been using paid fonts for decades and 'just know' how everything works and so don't talk about it.

    you can use any legally obtained adobe fonts for your commercial apps and you do not need a royalty or licensing fee.
    with typekit fonts, you are restricted to using them only while your subscription continues.

  • Problems with ligatures in firefox, gtk-apps

    I have trouble with ligatures such as fl and fi in firefox and some different gtk-apps(pidgin for example). The problem is that the ligatures are rendered at a slightly different size and weight for some fonts.
    I use libxft-lcd and freetype2-lcd. I don't really care for ligatures for on screen display, just a way to disable them altogether would work just fine.

    I believe multicast means you are sending with a 255 address, like 198.162.10.255. Most routers will block multicasts, probably because multicasts cause a lot of traffic. (And of course multicasts will not work over the internet.)
    UDP can send multicast or to a specific IP.
    There is no problem with using more than one port.
    If you listen on a UDP port then you get everything that fits in the buffer. So as long as packets aren't being dropped then you are getting everything.

  • [SOLVED] Distorted fonts in oxygen-gtk theme

    I have install oxygen-gtk2 theme along with gtk-kde4.
    When my desktop effects are ON I am seeing distorted fonts in drop down menu's of gtk applications.
    They become normal when I move mouse on them. Also they appear normal when desktop effects are OFF.
    No other theme have any issue.
    Can anyone help me in solving this ?
    Versons:
    oxygen-gtk2 :  1.2.5-1
    gtk-kde4       :  0.9.5b-2

    I have "Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD".
    I don't have flash video player running. This issue is consistent even without running anything else.
    And It is not visible in kde application or with other gtk themes.
    It comes only with oxygen-gtk, with kde desktop effects activated, only in gtk applications, only for text in pop-up menus.
    Even other texts in those application are normal.
    Is anybody else facing same issue in this combination ?

  • Improve gtk apps startup time.

    Hi,
    I wanted to do a little survery, on whether the "problem" that I have is specific to my computer, or this is how things should be.
    Starting a gtk app (like gedit or rox) takes about 1-2 seconds on my system. I know for some people this is not much, but when I work I don't want to wait 2 seconds for app like gedit to start. It is not a matter of wasting time, rather a matter of changing focus. If I press win+r I would like to have rox to be open instantly, so I don't start to think about something else.
    I know this is possible, as running uzbl is really fast. It seems like starting in the moment of issuing the command. I know it doesn't use lot of gtk, only some glib.
    So in summary:
    Do you think such situation is normal? Anyon knows how to decrease the delay?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    I'm talking more the libraries/start up here then general usage.
    What are you running them on? A *box, GNOME, KDE? I've always felt that gtk apps on KDE (for example) take a little longer. More my opinion than anything else. Which is understandable, considering the QT bias. Mostly, though, I'd say it comes down to the app. For maximum speed you want something that's small and uses very few (or always loaded) libraries.
    NOTE: Gtk apps seem to start faster on my awesome setup than with GNOME. Do any of the GNOME processes (like gnome-settings-daemon) increase the load time? I feel as if they might.
    EDIT: Yes, gVim is gtk.
    ANOTHER EDIT: If you want a very fast, light, text editor then try mousepad.

  • [Tut] Smooth KDE4 + FF3 (and other GTK apps) integration (Oxygen!)

    This is a very simple tutorial, but this problem stumped me for a little (finding gtk-kde4-oxygen-theme), so I thought it might help others. Most normal KDE4 +GTK guides tell you to use  gtk-qt-engine by itself, which some stubborn apps (Firefox especially) don't play nice with. Most Firefox guides tell you to install QtCurve, which is nice, but not nearly as nice as Oxygen IMO, especially since even KDE apps will change to QtCurve.
    I used KDEmod, but normal KDE should work too.
    1.) Get the KFirefox theme here: http://ramonantonio.net/kde-firefox/ This will change the main look of Firefox. to integrate well.
    2.) Get gtk-qt-engine, and install. This will let you set a KDE style for GTK apps. Unfortunately, "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" does not work in some stubborn apps, like Firefox, and you're normally forced to "Use another style" that's not as nice as your main KDE4.
    3.) Get gtk-kde4-oxygen-theme from the AUR, and install. This is one of those "other styles", but it's very Oxygen-like.
    4.) Go to the KDE System Settings, Appearance, and GTK Styles and Fonts. Select "Use another style", and then 'kde4-oxygen'.
    Done! You may need to restart Firefox and/or KDE. Enjoy =]

    Hello I'm the creator of the theme. Could you provide more information and test latest version?
    Sure.  I am using Minefield 3.0 and I just loaded your theme and it seems to work fine. Looks like you got whatever was causing the problem to work properly.
