Font rendering (if CSS position:fixed)

Safari 7.0.4/OS X 10.9.3
Font renedering issue:
example:
<div style="position:fixed">
Hello text
</div>
The font ist not rendered correctly. (too thin and blurred)
if:
<div style="position:relative">
Hello text
</div>
It is correctly rendered.

Hi RobFaust,
Can you give me a sugestion where I can lear how to set-up my laptom to test my HTML page in IE6, IE7 AND IE8.
Once I upgrade from IE6 to IE7, IE6 is no-longer on my laptop.  I know there is a fee website that give one an opportunity to
test HTML on different browsers.
cheers,

  • Css position:fixed works on mozilla 21/IE10 but not in chrome ?

    Hello guys,
         I want to stick in position  a rectangle or photo while scrolling browser.
    I am using    sym.$("Rectangle3").css({"position":"fixed"});
    This works fine in Mozilla and IE10 but not in chrome (Version 27.0.1453.116 m)
    Anyone to help please?
    Thanks in advance.
    Anthony

    Antony,
    I will defer to what Sarah said.
    In the future if you needed to add browser prefixes to correct differences which happen for a number of things like transform or shapes, etc..
    Or course this will not correct a bug which I was not aware of in this particular case.
    Here is how to add browser prefixes:
    In this case to make an ellipse a circle because chrome did not recognize the ellipse. I added Opera prefix to show you the syntax.
    sym.$('Ellipse').css({
              '-webkit-border-radius': '50%',
              '-o-border-radius': '50%',
              'border-radius': '50%',
              'width': '35px',
              'height': '35px'
    Sometime the syntax is a little different. Just google the css to make sure.
    Here is another example for a Star Wars intro where I added browser prefixes for Explorer (-ms-), Chrome (-webkit-), and Firefox(-moz-).
    The code can be combined but I did not this time for this sample.
    Sample files here:
    https://www.box.com/s/bdu5c4lq67fkfy7blfhc
    // FF
    sym.$('gradient').css('background', '-moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,1) 0%, transparent 100%)');
    sym.$('container').css('-moz-transform-origin', '50% 100%');
    sym.$('container').css('-moz-transform', 'perspective(250px) rotateX(25deg)');
    // Chrome and others
    sym.$('gradient').css('background', '-webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,1) 0%, transparent 100%)');
    sym.$('container').css('-webkit-transform-origin', '50% 100%');
    sym.$('container').css('-webkit-transform', 'perspective(250px) rotateX(25deg)');
    // Internet Explorer
    sym.$('gradient').css('background', '-ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,1) 0%, transparent 100%)');
    sym.$('container').css('-ms-transform-origin', '50% 100%');
    sym.$('container').css('-ms-transform', 'perspective(250px) rotateX(25deg)');

  • How do I resize a div/element that's position fixed with css ?

    Supper,
    I set up a fixed element using this code in stage/ composition ready :
    sym.$("body").append(sym.$("Group").css({"position":"fixed"}));
    The element does "position:fixed" but its size has changed.
    How do I resize it to its previous size?
    I tried the same css insertion method with size properties as I used in "fixed"( example above) .
    It Failed.
    So second question is based on that it also loses its "responsive scaling" properties
    (just the "fixed" element not the rest of the project)
    and no longer zooms in scale.
    Can I fix an elements position and maintain scaling with the rest of the project at 100% width?
    My objective is to scroll under a fixed element scaled to fit browser.
    Thank You,
    Henry

    According to the InDesign Help file:
    Do one of the following:
    (Windows) Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
    (Mac OS) While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.

  • NB Visual Web JSF Uses Transitional DOCTYPE, Need Strict for position:fixed

    When trying to create a CSS "position:fixed" element in my project that works for Firefox/IE6/IE7 I looked up the simple CSS hacks that need to be used for IE6. Unfortunately, IE6 MUST use a Strict DOCTYPE to accomplish this, and there appears to be no way to change this in the Visual Web projects.
    The only thing I can find is the webuijsf:page element has attributes that depending on their boolean value will toggle between a Transitional and Frameset DOCTYPE.
    Unless someone knows a CSS hack for IE6 that works with a Transitional DOCTYPE, is there a way for me to switch the Visual Web JSF stuff to use a Strict DOCTYPE?

    is there a way for me to switch the Visual Web JSF stuff to use a Strict DOCTYPE?If the documentation doesn't state anything about it, I would report this issue at the mailinglist/issuetracker at the homepage of Visual Web JSF.

  • Font Rendering Got Bad After 32.0 Update

    After the recent update, the font started to get badly rendered. Kind of blurry with jagged edges and transparent parts. It used to be okay D:
    Sometimes it becomes okay for a moment as I scroll down on pages, and sometimes when I stop scrolling, the font stays as it is; as if there are specific positions for the text to render properly. However, not all of the fonts are affected. Only the ones inside the scroll area.
    On times that the font renders properly, the bookmarks font, title bar, and tab names are unaffected and still appear not-smooth. Same thing does not happen on other browsers. All my other system fonts look okay; it's really just Firefox.
    Restarting Firefox = didn't work
    Restarting Computer = didn't work
    Tried setting up Clear Type = didn't work
    Tried enabling and disabling Hardware Acceleration on Firefox = didn't work
    Tried enabling and disabling the Graphics card itself = didn't work
    Tried just about all of the suggestions I found on Google = none worked
    Tried complete uninstall and re-install of Firefox 32.0 = didn't work
    Graphics Driver are updated ~
    Windows is updated ~
    I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6800
    I fixed it by downgrading to Firefox 31 which makes me sure that 32.0 is the culprit. As I was about to send the message on top; I tried downgrading as my last resort and it worked. Now I'm only sending this as a report. I am hoping you'll figure out what caused it because I am quite strict (OC) that everything in my PC must remain updated >_<; thus I want to use Firefox 32.0 as much as possible.

    No one to help on this ??????

  • [SOLVED]A nice sharp font renderer (not as sharp as windows)

    Is there another font renderer out there? I tried freetype the default and that gives me blurry edges. Infinality is not better in my opinion. Same blurry edges too many configurations. Are there any other renderers out there?

    # Should the below Xft settings be set globally by this script? (true/false)
    SET_XFT_SETTINGS=true
    # XFT settings are like a red-headed stepchild that should be beaten severely.
    # These only affect legacy programs, and *parts* of some modern programs like
    # google-chrome. We only deal with these settings because we have to, otherwise
    # crap will slip by. I recommend using hintslight and autohint as the defaults
    # normally in local.conf. The reason hintfull and autohint:0 is needed here
    # because otherwise some programs will occassionally request slight hinting for
    # a truetype font. When a program does this, Freetype automatically uses the
    # autohinter, when you may actually want it to be rendered with the TT hinter,
    # (if specified in local.conf). So setting this to hintfull guarantees that the
    # TT font will be rendered with the TT hinter (assuming it is specified in
    # /etc/fonts/local.conf to be rendered that way.) For TT fonts that you want
    # rendered with autohint, specifiying that in the /etc/fonts/local.conf
    # should be enough. But you might think that by setting this to hintfull
    # that it's going to use Freetype's full autohinting (which we *completely*
    # avoid) for fonts you want autohinted. This is where
    # INFINALITY_FT_AUTOFIT_FORCE_SLIGHT_HINTING comes in. It tells freetype to
    # use slight hinting on fonts set for autohinting, even if the program requests

    # This is a modified version of the patch here:
    # http://levelsofdetail.kendeeter.com/2008/12/dynamic_fir_filter_patch.html
    # Allows you to adjust the FIR filter at runtime instead of at
    # compile time. The idea is to have values add up to 100, and be
    # symmetrical around the middle value. If the values add up to
    # more than 100, the glyphs will appear darker. If less than 100,
    # lighter. I recommend using this method to make glyphs darker
    # or lighter globally as opposed to using the gamma option (see note in
    # the gamma option).
    # Here are some samples of various filter parameters:
    # (this has been changed to use integers between 0 and 100 to
    # avoid problems with regional differences like comma for decimal point)
    # Strong Extra Smooth "15 20 30 20 15" (extra smooth, natural weight)

    # Using this filter does somewhat lessen the need to use stem

    # which would need to happen in X rendering. It is actually
    # using the gamma function in calculations though.
    # The first value indicates a px value, the second indicates a
    # "gamma" value. All sizes less than the px value will be corrected
    # on a weighted scale based on the second value.
    # The gamma value is commonly between 0.0 and 3.0. Due to localization

    # multiplied by 100. So a gamma of 1.3 would be 130. In practice,
    # I'd stay between 40 and 250.
    # Values 1 through 100 will darken the glyph

    # for brightness. It is applied AFTER the LCD filtering.
    # For a Windows XP look, set brightness to something and contrast to 50
    # This will also tend to increase its sharpness.
    # These values are relative and don't really mean anything
    # however they are satisfactory for a range of appearances.
    # Another tip is to use a gamma setting of "1000 110" or something

    # INFINALITY_FT_CONTRAST
    # This filter adjusts contrast, using the standard algorithm
    # for contrast. It is applied AFTER the LCD filtering.
    # For a Windows XP look, set brightness to -25 and contrast to 50
    # This will also tend to increase its sharpness.
    # These values are relative and don't really mean anything
    # however they are satisfactory for a range of appearances.
    # Another tip is to use a gamma setting of "1000 110" or something
    # over 100 to lighten things before processing.
    # Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
    # Dark or Light XP Experience: 50
    # Example: export INFINALITY_FT_CONTRAST="50"
    export INFINALITY_FT_CONTRAST="0"
    # INFINALITY_FT_GRAYSCALE_FILTER_STRENGTH
    # This filter adjusts subpixel-rendered glyphs toward grayscale.
    # Sometimes this is useful in getting a rendering more like
    # OSX.
    # Range: Integers 0 through 100
    # 0 represents no filtering
    # 50 represents halfway between subpixel and grayscale
    # 100 represents completely grayscale
    # Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
    # Recommended, if you want to use it: 30
    # Example: export INFINALITY_FT_GRAYSCALE_FILTER_STRENGTH="33"
    export INFINALITY_FT_GRAYSCALE_FILTER_STRENGTH="0"
    # INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH
    # This filter tries to remove the horizontal fringing that is found on
    # default autohinted glyphs (similar to OSX-rendered glyphs).
    # For example, an E may be rendered so that the middle horizontal
    # stem is 100% black, but also has a horizonal row of pixels above
    # it that is at 50% intensity. This makes the glyph look dirty,
    # however it is technically accurate.
    # This would be useful in cases where you have
    # INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT set to something less than 100
    # but also can affect glyphs at 100, to some degree.
    # Unless fonts are showing fringes in a way that annoys you, I recommend
    # keeping it disabled, as it can slightly interfere with smooth appearance
    # sometimes.
    # Range: Integers 0 through 100
    # 0 represents no filtering
    # 50 represents a 50% reduction of detected fringes
    # 100 represents completely removing detected fringes
    # Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
    # Recommended, if you want to use it: 100
    # Example: export INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH="100"
    export INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH="0"
    # INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_HORIZONTAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH
    # This post-filter darkens horizontal stems that autohint renders as semi-dark.
    # Freetype will by default not force stems to render to pixel boundaries
    # because it results in "vanishing stems". This happens on things like
    # s S a and other glyphs with center diagonal stems.
    # If you have INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT set to 100,
    # you're telling it to force pixel boundaries, which can result in the
    # vanishing stems. To get around this problem, I internally override the
    # INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT setting if the stem width
    # is less than a full pixel, regardless. This causes semi-dark stems, but
    # at least there are stems there.
    # This filter is intended to darken those semi-dark stems. I highly
    # recommend using this, but setting to a low value like 10, because
    # it is particularly sensitive right now, and can make thin fonts
    # look weird otherwise.
    # Range: Integers 0 through 100
    # 0 represents no darkening
    # 50 represents a 50% increase toward 1 pixel in height
    # 100 represents a full pixel of height
    # Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
    # Recommended, if you want to use it: 10
    # Example: export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_HORIZONTAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="10"
    export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_HORIZONTAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="10"
    # INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_VERTICAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH
    # This post-filter darkens vertical stems less than 1 pixel that autohint
    # renders as semi-dark. This applies mostly to thin fonts like
    # Courier New, Raleway, and fonts with the word "Light" in the title or
    # style. Although what autohint is doing is technically correct, it
    # results in a bad looking rendering because it's too light, at small
    # ppems. This filter tries to correct that.
    # There is an aspect of this that is automatic, so it's safer to use
    # larger values for this than the above horizontal ENV_VAR. However
    # setting this higher has more impact on thinner fonts. So, I still
    # recommend lower values.
    # Range: Integers 0 through 100
    # 0 represents no darkening
    # 50 represents a 50% increase (from current strength) toward 1 pixel
    # 100 represents a full pixel of width
    # Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
    # Recommended, if you want to use it: 25

    export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_VERTICAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="25"
    # INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_INCREASE_GLYPH_HEIGHTS
    # This will slightly stretch some glyphs vertically between 9px
    # and 14px (inclusive). Some people may find this more
    # aesthetically pleasing. This only applies to fonts that are
    # using autohint. I used to recommend this to be set true, but
    # it does mess with some (less popular) glyphs in a nasty way.
    # The goal here is to increase the height of some fonts by 1 px
    # but leave the x-height where it is. Arial is a good example
    # of this working properly. Compare the heights of Arial, Times
    # and Freesans with this on, vs. TT hinted versions of Arial and
    # Times.

    # true - enable height adjustment
    # false - do not enable height adjustment

  • Flex 4.5/FP10.2 web app: Font rendering problem

    Heya,
    Upped a web app from Flex 4.0/4.1 to Flex 4.5 & fonts started to render really badly (blurry & 'stronger').
    They are embedded as CFF, no errors or warnings gives. Also upgraded to Flash Player 10.2, which apparently has 'enhanched' font rendering.
    Haven't set applicationDPI on the s:Application tag, so DPI management should be disabled according to the docs.
    (See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WS19f279b149e7481c682e5a9412cf5976c17-8000.htm l)
    It's straight up @font-face embeds in a CSS file, nothing odd or wrong there.
    Is the case that this is how it's supposed to look now? In that case, how do I revert back to sane rendering?
    Do I need to configure 4.5 somehow to get it to do fonts right?

    Also tested Franklin Gothic, same deal. Tested on Mac (10.2) & PC (10.2 & 10.3). Flex 4.5 for both platforms.
    fonts.css:
    @font-face
    src: url("fonts/arial.ttf");
    font-family: Arial;
    font-weight: normal;
    embedAsCFF: true;
    FontTest.mxml:

  • Weird Font Rendering Issue?

    Okay i was looking fo some back up drives online, and i stumbled upon:
    http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Seagate-Barracuda-7200-9-500GB-Internal-Drive-ST3 500641ARK/sem/rpsm/oid/168899/catOid/-12976/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
    it renders like this:
    http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/4641/picture3rn0.png
    http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture4dr1.png
    but for some reason on my MacPro 2.66 the font renders odd in FireFox (doenst do it on Safari. and ive tried this exact sit eon my MacBookPro and it looks fine on Firefox.
    I have the following installed (on both machines)
    -FireFox 2.0.0.9
    -Microsoft Office 2004
    -Adobe CS2
    -Macromedia Studio 8
    theyre practically identical with programs & fonts installed, the only fonts that are installe are the ones that wer epreinstalled with the system, and that came with Office 04 and CS2
    any way to maybe fix this issue?

    hey! well i tried your site url on my MacPro and i have the same issue, so it must be a macpro thing? lol
    im running the latest firefox and no additional fonts installed other than the ones you have listed yourself (office, cs2, macromedia)
    so dont fret. i tried using font finangler and onyx to clean the font cache, (not sure i fhtat was a good idea,) but it shows up on mine so your not the only one! ive tried on two different macpros one wiht out any programs and it does the same thing. so it must be something with the wya its rendering on these machines.
    at first it hought maybe something got corrupted in my system aswell
    hope that helps!!

  • CSS Centered & Fixed Width Layout

    I'm trying to use CSS for building a new layout and do so without resorting to the old methods, like using tables. But I can't even get past a very basic thing using Dreamweaver CS5.5. I want the page layout to be a fixed width yet centered in the browser window instead of stuck to the left. Lots of web sites do this (even Adobe's main site).
    In the past I would just create a parent table and simply give it a center alignment then build everything else inside of it. Easy. Unless I'm overlooking something obvious there appears to be no way at all to apply the same sort of alignment property to a DIV-based container. Dreamweaver provides lots and lots of other formatting options, but page alignment for that DIV object isn't there.
    If I could just get the first big overall DIV centered on the page where I want it I think I could use absolute positioning on the DIVs inside of it.
    I've searched around for examples on how to code CSS to make this work, but haven't been able to simply cut and paste the code into Dreamweaver to make it happen. I need to learn how to do this correctly using Dreamweaver's own CSS property dialog boxes.

    If I could just get the first big overall DIV centered on the page where I want it I think I could use absolute positioning on the DIVs inside of it.
    OMG no.  You don't want to use absolute positioning at all, until you understand CSS positioning fully.

  • Font Rendering Issues-Help Required Please

    In the past week, any Google search on Firefox or Chrome (but not Opera) gives me results where the fonts look gappy. Sometimes there are additional dots above the letters. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from scratch in case an add-on was at fault but even with a clean install I am still seeing the issue. I checked my font settings and do not have any minimum font size set. I have allow pages to choose their own font ticked.
    I've uploaded an image where I can see some correctly rendered text and some gappy looking text (not from a Google search but a Mozilla query). It also happens when commenting online sometimes, during typing it will be gappy but it will show properly once submitted. Any ideas for a fix would be warmly welcomed and I can give more examples if that would help. Although it's not Firefox related, I did restore all defaults in Chrome and it didn't fix the issue there either.
    I uninstalled the most recent Windows Update since the problem is recent but it didn't change anything. I'm not sure if browsers would even look to my computers fonts.

    hi Auds77, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
    <blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>
    <sup>reference: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455</sup>
    one option may be to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-vista roll-back this particular update] for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|graphics driver update]] available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

  • CSS positioning for complext layout

    I've been creating web page layouts with tables for many
    years now and realise that it's time to move to CSS positioning
    instead. Having gone through various tutorials, I've mastered the
    art of creating a 3-column layout, however the design I'm working
    on at the moment needs to be more complex than this. Here's a link
    to the page layout I'm trying to achieve:
    http://www.sweatshop.co.uk/dev/pagelayout.htm
    Is this too complex for CSS positioning? Would I be better
    off using tables? Or can anyone point me in the direction of more
    detailed tutorials that might help me achieve this using CSS?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Font rendering and legacy X applications

    For some time, I have had problems keeping older applications working well as the X font system evolves. For example, I have many drawings created in Xfig, and the fonts stopped being rendered correctly some time ago. Converting all these files for a new drawing package like Inkscape would be a pain. The other main problem occurs with a commercial CAD package (Eagle), which is statically linked to Qt2, and does not play nicely when anti-aliasing is applied to Qt3/KDE apps.
    Xfig and others
    The problem here is that Xfig would render fonts with the letters too closely spaced, such that the on-screen representation no longer matches the printed or PDF output. I fixed this by forcing 75 x 75 DPI resolution, rather than using the resolution determined by the X server from probing the monitor. To do this, put a line in the Monitor section of XF86Config or xorg.conf:
        DisplaySize 433 347
    The above x and y values were calculated for a resolution of 1280 x 1024.
    Another fix I have done for Xfig is to patch the sources to pick up the URW font names instead of the Adobe names for the standard Postscript fonts. If anyone is interested, I could make a proper Arch package for this.
    Forcing the resolution is admittedly a kludge. I might look into font rendering in an Xlib application, to see if there is some extra code needed to handle the proper resolution correctly.
    Gtk-2.0 UI fonts at 75DPI
    An unfortunate side effect of forcing 75 x 75 DPI resolution is that the menu and other UI fonts in Gtk apps end up too small. This was noticed on Gvim and Gnumeric. KDE and Qt programmes appear to be unaffected. This can be fixed by creating a .gtkrc-2.0 file in your home directory with the following contents:
        gtk-font-name = "Bitstream Vera Sans 12"
    Put whatever font and size you like. I have no information on the format of the gtkrc file. The above was adapted from a page found on Google.
    Mozilla (which uses Gtk) needs some individual tweaking, as the UI fonts end up far too big. In preferences->fonts, set the resoultion to 72 DPI.
    The above measures should only be required if you have forced 75DPI. I had no problems with Gtk apps prior to doing that.
    Eagle
    The problem with Eagle appears to be related to the fact that it uses Qt2 (statically linked) in a Qt3 environment. This might also occur with other apps, but Eagle is the only one I know about. When antialising is turned on via KDE control center, this modifies .qt/qtrc, and so affects all Qt applications. If I have anti-aliasing turned on, the fonts in Eagle are very ragged and badly spaced.
    I fixed this by modifying the font path in XF86Config, to remove the entry /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF. The problem appears to be that Eagle is picking up one of the True Type fonts, instead of a Type 1 or bitmapped font. Turning on antialing in Qt appears to alter its font selection behaviour (fontconfig?) as well as font rendering.
    An interesting outcome of experimenting with the font path is that removing entries only affects older applications. KDE and other modern apps work perfectly well with only the mandatory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc entry present. As far as I know, this is because modern toolkits like Qt3 and Gtk2 use fontconfig to find fonts.

    I now made two screenshots of Mail: The first one while the external display was disconnected, the second one when it was connected (and Mail moved to the external display). I opened both screenshots in Photoshop and there was a clear difference between the font renderings: On the screenshot of the internal display, the fonts are smoothed with black and grey pixels only, while on the screenshot from the external display they are smoothed with colored pixels. This is the reason why the text looks so bad on the external one. Therefore, it is definitely a problem of the font rendering. In Photoshop, the difference of font rendering is clearly visible!
    See here:
    http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/5389/fontt.jpg
    The first line is internal display, the second line external display. That's unbelievable.
    Another thing: I found out that it's not only Mail that has the problem - it is any application that was started after the external display had been connected. It seems that OS X applies the font rendering setting at the moment a application is starts. When I disconnect the display, start Finder, Mail, Safari and so on, and then connect the display, then all the applications look great even on the external display. When I quit the apps and then restart, the font rendering is broken again

  • Font rendering in opera

    Hi,
    I am new to arch linux.
    I installed opera browser (which i get used to when i used windows) and I did not get the indic fonts properly rendered. I am particularly concerned about "tamil" fonts. I googled up and followed up some instructions but could not get it in opera. But the font renders correctly in chromium and firefox. So, the problem is concerned with opera? or any system changes should be made?
    Here are the screen shots:
    Here is what I should get: (used chromium)
    Here is what I get in opera:
    No matter what fonts I change in advanced-> international option in opera.. it keeps rendering them wrongly.
    Thankyou.

    Not sure if this will help, but to fix fonts in my Opera I typed "opera:config" in address bar. Looked up "fontconfig" in search, and made sure "Prefer fontconfig settings" is checked. Save and restart.
    Then I made a file /.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with the following:
    <?xml version='1.0'?>
    <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
    <fontconfig>
    <match target="font" >
    <edit mode="assign" name="autohint">
        <bool>false</bool>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font" >
    <edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
        <bool>false</bool>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font" >
    <edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
        <const>rgb</const>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font">
    <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
        <const>lcddefault</const>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font" >
    <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
        <const>hintfull</const>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font" >
    <edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
        <bool>true</bool>
    </edit>
    </match>
    </fontconfig>
    Fonts in Opera seemed to be better. But then I copied all of my windows fonts from C:/windows/fonts to /.fonts/windows
    So all of the fonts work good now.

  • Not-latin font rendering is broken in Kf5 applications

    Hello.
    After upgrading of KDE4 applications to Kf5 ones, I have the font rendering problem in them.
    It's looks like that:
    As you can see, rendering of cyrillic fonts is broken. Absolutely wrong font family (should be Terminus) and font size.
    In KDE4 apps font rendering works correctly.
    Do someone have any suggestions how can I fix this?

    I can see picture without any problems. May be it is regional-specific problem of image hosting.
