KDE fonts under Gnome doesn't look good

Ok, most people complains about GTK fonts under KDE. I have the inverse problem, my kde apps doesn't look good into gnome.
If I run kde, the fonts are displayed properly with small size, but if I run gnome and the run a kde app, the fonts are very big.
When i run a gtk app under kde, the fonts are showed properly but it doesn't use my gnome theme.
Anyone have a solution on making kde apps looking good under gnome?

Even though it's the inverse problem, it's likely still the same solution. Gnome has a Gconf setting for DPI. Otherwise you change it as an option to X. Where you do so depends on how you start up X though (startx, xdm, kdm, gdm, etc). I'll post back once I'm in Gnome and tell you where you can change the DPI.

Gui program doesn't look good with startx

I did not install a DE in arch linux, just to keep it lightweight. However, my GUI application doesn't look good running with start x.
is there any package I can install to make it look better, like fonts, visuals, or the only way is to install either KDE or GNOME desktops?

If you did not install a desktop environment or one of the windows managers, and you are using startx without having created your very own ~/.xinitrc, then you are using a very simple WM called twm.
You may really want to look at the wiki documentation that was linked in your other thread -- If you are trying to stay light, there are other choices to Gnome or KDE. Look at i3, Openbox, xfce4, or any of the other beloved environments discussed at length of these forums.
Even with twm, you can install and run a screen shot program.

Iweb website doesn't look good on our web server (apache2)

hello,
I made a website on iweb and then published it to a folder. I then copied the files to our web server (linux, sles9). When I viewed the files on my laptop, it looked fine. But when I put the files on the web server, it looks bad.
please see www DOT tkminc DOT com
Why are all the spaces full of capital letter A's? It's not just that. The second page doesn't look good either. I was all happy about using iweb until I saw the results on the web server. Why is this happening?
Thanks,
oskar

Why are all the spaces full of capital letter A's?
I don't see any A's.
But if one does see such characters, it is normally because the server is (mis)configured to force all browsers to use the wrong encoding. See this note:

How come the photoshoped images on my blog doesn't look good? They're a bit blurry.

Before saving the images in photoshop, it looked good. But after posting it on the blog, they are a bit blurry. Here are the links to the post: http://bit.ly/15Ytu4x and http://bit.ly/19RzUWE. Could someone please help?

I guess Blogspot is using some form of compression when you upload. Try re-sizing the images yourself in the Editor by saving a smaller copy (Image >> Resize >> Image Size) then add sharpening and try uploading again.

Is it possible to have antialiasing font under gnome and ...

... and Mozilla browsers ? (Firebird, epiphany...)
My gnome is ugly without AA

er... yes?
This is the default. Pretty much everything X-based is anti-aliased now. Has been for awhile.
Make sure you either setup your fonts in your browser to ones that will AA, or you set your defaults for Times, Sans, Serif, ect. in /etc/fonts/local.conf to ones that will AA. Otherwise they'll look ugly.

This doesn't look good. Help would be appreciated.

Booted up into 10.3.9 after being on OS 9.2 which is on another internal drive and got a BLACK screen with this message.
etc/master password: NO SUCH file or directory
Lucky enough I was able to go back to my OS 9 drive. My 10.3 is still there on the desktop with everything in it. What am I looking at and how can I get back on my 10.3 drive? I have my OS disks and still can access my files if need be from my OS 9 drive if this can offer to any solutions.
Like everyone I have alot invested and do have most everything backed up on an external drive. **** good thing too.
Thanks to anyone with some suggestions or assistance.
Chad

< have my OS disks >
Well. it would seem to me that the best way to proceed would be as follows:
You say you have backup copies of all your most important stuff.
You also say you have OS9 and OS10 installed on 2 separate hard drives.
This is not really necessary, as OS10.3 includes Classic (a perfectly functioning version of OS9).
I suggest that after making backup copies of anything else in your computer that you feel is very important, you reformat the bigger of your two internal drives, and do a complete clean re-install of 10.3.9.
Then you should just trash the other copy of OS9 so that the only thing your computer can start up from, is OS 10.
Also, avoid the "master password" thing by not setting one. I've heard many terrible stories of people forgetting the master password. IMHO a password for each user is more than enough to stop intruders getting into my computer, plus encryption software that make my most sensitive files impossible to penetrate.

Exported QTmovie quality doesn't look good at all..

I've composed, graded, and edited my sequence within FCS and just now exported it as a QT movie file.
It looks WAY less quality than the original movie file which was encoded with Compressor to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).
Let me explain about my workflow and please tell me what I am missing here.
1. Shoot with Canon 5D Mark2 at the highest quality
2. Encode the files to Apple ProRes422 (HQ)
3. make a sequence and send to Color
4. Create two grades, G1 is in color and G2 is in B&W, render and send back to FCP
5. make a new sequence, put G1 in track v1 and G2 in track v2, bring it to Motion
6. in Motion, change the top layer's blend mode to exclusion, save it and export as QT movie
7. import the exclusion sequence to FCP, make a new sequence with it
8. Now, v1=exclusion movie(background) and put v2=original color clips(showing part of it), send it to Motion
9. Compose two layers with bezier mask putting some feather around
10. Save it in Motion and export it in FCP as Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
The final output looks bad. Especially, the feather and graded parts looks choppy and not smooth.
Information of the files before and after is almost the same except output file has *Integre (Big...)* right after Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)...
I will look into details and all the settings but if you think of anything please let me know.
Where to look and what should be set ...etc.
I'd really appreciate your input! Thanks in advance.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the link but it doesn't seem to apply my case.
I've already set the QT preference and I use Leopard+FCP7.
Maybe, I am using too much of Motion/Color for composing, layering, masking etc?
All the integration cause that kind of result??---Lesser quality export.
Please let me know what I should keep in mind most when I want to integrate FCP/Color/Motion, going back and forth.
I'd appreciate any advice from you!

New itunes 9 mini player doesn't look good

for a moment i was having graphic issues w/ itunes or my compt. the new shadow at the top header makes it look like a bent metal. i like previous graphic where it was simply across the surface and the window simply pops-out of the screen among other window on your screen. also the void space at the bottom is disconcerting. it just appears that something that something had to be there. i see no additional value or function for these two new visual characteristics.

You can post feedback about iTunes from the main iTunes drop down menu.

Having problems compressing web movie, quality doesn't look good, PLZ HELP

Hi guys,
I used to be able to create a sharp/ crisp clean quicktime 7 web streaming movie in compressor 3 with it's default settings but lately it appears to be compressing a very poor quality QT7 web streaming movie. I have not changed any settings as far as I know.
I have always used H.264 800kbps for High Bandwidth and never had any problems with quality or the way it looked.
Can anyone help me out please.
Thanks,
Zia

Are you compressing the same kind of source material (content) as before? If you have content with a lot of fast motion (i.e. sports), you might need to adjust the video bitrate accordingly (increase it).
You could also try implementing frame controls and try an other more appropriate frame size. Have a look at this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7525834&#7525834

HD TV show (Monk) doesn't look very HD on the AppleTV

Is it playing the SD or HD? It sure doesn't look good.
Also, you can only buy the SD from the AppleTV menus.

Hey, Kenuck, do you know when HD TV shows are coming to Canada?
The link you gave to the Apple Canada website does say that we can watch HD TV shows, as you quoted, and that we can buy Grey's Anatomy. Both of these things are unavailable at the iTunes Canada store and I can't find a date for when/if they are coming to the Canada store.
Anybody know when/if HD shows are coming to Canada?

Working on my page, everything looks good in iweb, I publish, I go check on the internet, and the fonts on the page go crazy. iweb doesn't show it that way. Why is this happening?

Looks OK to me - is this what it should look like?:

Rendering of fonts in kde 4 and gnome 2.24 [SOLVED]

Dear all,
I have been trying to set up fonts in my system so that gnome and kde applications look the same. I failed. I read the relevant post in these very forums, but the person that proposes the solution does not use autohinter and I do, so I cannot apply his solution. Anyway, the problem is that the spacing of letters using the same font is different in kde and gtk. For example, for the word "file" in the menubar, the F and the I and the L are closer together in GTK than in Qt. I wish I could post a screenshot.
I am using the ubuntu patches. Here is my /etc/fonts/conf.d
10-antialias.conf
10-autohint.conf
10-hinting-full.conf
10-hinting.conf
10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf
11-lcd-filter-lcddefault.conf
20-fix-globaladvance.conf
20-unhint-small-vera.conf
29-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf
30-metric-aliases.conf
30-urw-aliases.conf
40-nonlatin.conf
45-latin.conf
49-sansserif.conf
50-user.conf
51-local.conf
52-languageselector.conf
53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf
60-latin.conf
65-fonts-persian.conf
65-nonlatin.conf
69-unifont.conf
80-delicious.conf
90-synthetic.conf
My .fonts.conf is empty. I have a .Xresources file:
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.autohinting: 1
Xft.dpi: 100
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
that I merge with the command xrdb when X starts.
Does anyone have an idea what could be different in the Gnome and KDE setups?
Thanks for your help
Valerio

Dear All, after a long search I finally found a very accettable configuration.
First of all patched cairo using the cairo-resepect-fontconfig patch from brebs
then I applied the following patches to Qt 4.4.3:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/217729
finally I chose the following configuration:
Autohint: yes
Hinting: yes
Hintstyle: hintmedium
Lcdfilter: lcddefault (I have the Ubuntu packages installed)
Rgba: rgb
Antialiasing: yes
Now my fonts in Qt and GTK look much more similar (not perfectly identical, but good enough!)
Thanks to anyone who helped

Corrupted font display under GNOME 3

Why do my fonts suddenly go from displaying normally to looking like this under GNOME 3?
The same thing happens under Cinnamon. Other desktop environments don't have this problem.
I'm using an ATI Mobility X1400 notebook video card.

Hi Unia,
This problem predates the recent Fontconfig changes.
By "suddenly", I mean that at some random time after I login to my GNOME 3 session, the fonts go from normal to corrupted. It could be 30 seconds or it could be 30 minutes.
The fonts don't always stay corrupted, either: for example, at another random point in time, my XChat fonts will go back to normal, but my VirtualBox and Chromium fonts will still be corrupted. If I logout and login again, the problem is fixed, until they decide to randomly break again.

Fonts configuration Gnome/KDE

I use some programs from KDE in my Gnome desktop and fonts there do not look right.
I tried to solve this and installed KDE Settings app. This solved the KDE fonts problem, but messed up some of my other fonts. I have been playing with it a lot and most of the fonts now look right. In programs, everything is fine, but on web, some of fonts are very ugly. Most of them are fine, but on some pages it looks like no hinting / clearing is used. The problem is in Firefox, when I have allowed pages to use their own font. When this is turned off, all works fine, but fonts look not right everywhere. Chromium does not have this problem at all.
So how can I trace where is the problem and fix this? See images please. Thanks.

I tried the DPI thing, but it did not help. I did not tried the font replacement thing, because going through all the fonts and changing them manually is quite a task. There should be some other way.
I tried to remove all my ubuntu font packages from AUR and installing stock, then back again to ubuntu in hope of restoring the settings, but it did not helped.
Thanks for your suggestions anyway. It was working before, so I just want it to get back to the state it was before. Unfortunately my knowledge in fonts is scarce.
