[SOLVED] Fat fonts in KDE

Hi everyone,
I'm using the ubuntu patched packages from AUR and my fonts look great on GTK apps but they look fat (bold) in KDE/Qt apps. I recall this happened too with the infinality packages so I'm sure it must be some configuration option, maybe some leftover from all the font things I've tried and messed with to get the fonts how I wanted.
I want my fonts in KDE apps to look like the GTK ones as in the screenshot attached. Any ideas what might be the problem?
GTK
KDE
Here's my /etc/fonts/fonts.conf ~/.fonts.conf in case it helps.
Thanks.

Which ones?
I've got installed cairo-ubuntu fontconfig-ubuntu freetype2-ubuntu libxft-ubuntu and keep installed an old version of ubuntu fonts. My configuration looks exactly the same as yours, so, according to this (read the comments), you could try changing the hinting style from slight to medium in system settings/fonts/configure anti-aliasing. It will overwrite your ~/.fonts.conf, so do a backup copy before
Or, better, if your ttf-ubuntu-font-family version is 0.71.2-1, downgrade it to 0.70.1, the third comment from the top will instruct you on how to do that.
If it doesn't work, could you please post the directory listing of /etc/fonts/conf.d ?

[SOLVED] Ugly fonts in KDE plamoids

I'm running KDE 4.8 on my Arch 64 box and I've had for a while now ugly fonts in all the plasma widgets I'm running. All the other fonts look nice and smooth in all other places, eg. GTK and QT apps etc. but plasma widget fonts aren't as smooth for some reason. I'm using the infinality patches with the "UBUNTU" setting currently. Any heads up on would be nice...
Many Thanks

Dont use the first advice, because you will lose the advantages of raster system system wide. Raster system is faster than native, so apps are snappier with it. The second method is better

Crummy looking fonts in KDE

I'm new to Arch and finally got XFree up and running. However, the fonts on KDE look terrible and out of proportion. Tried changing all my fonts in the configuration menus to Times, which I know to be fairly clean in Windows but I still get funny looking fonts that strain my eyes. Any help for a newbie on where to go with this problem would be greatly appreciated, thanks. I also have a flat panel monitor.

I've had my share of troubles with fonts, but after lots of hard work, I realized that there are ways to solve problems. I'd like to say first off that I agree fully with the bytecode interpreter being enabled. I also agree that the msttcorefonts should be installed, along with the bitstream vera fonts.
However, most people get discouraged, because the Bitstream Vera fonts look awesome antialiased, and the corefonts look awesome not antialiased. But I have yet to see a GUI that lets you configure which font families are antialiased and which ones are not. So I played with fonts.conf a bit, and to my delight, I came up with something that works for me and should work for most.
Put this in your ~/.fonts.conf :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >

<string>Arial Black</string>
<string>Comic Sans MS</string>

<string>Georgia</string>
<string>Tahoma</string>

<string>Trebuchet MS</string>
<string>Verdana</string>
<string>Webdings</string>
</test>
<test compare="less" name="size" qual="any" >

</test>

</edit>
</match>

<string>Arial</string>
<string>Arial Black</string>
<string>Comic Sans MS</string>

<string>Trebuchet MS</string>

<string>Webdings</string>
</test>
<test compare="less" name="pixelsize" qual="any" >
<double>18</double>
</test>
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Basically this sets all fonts antialiased, but excludes the Microsoft corefonts. I have left Impact antialiased because I feel it looks better that way. But that can be changed at your discretion.
I hope this helps someone!

Fonts in KDE 3.2

I just installed AL 0.6 and the fonts in KDE are not being anti-aliased.
Could this have something to do with a missing xft package?
I already have the freetype module enabled in my xf86config.
Where am i going wrong?

[SOLVED] Ugly fonts :/

Hi,
I dont know why did this happen. I'm a Gnome user and I wanted to take a look on KDE, so I've instaled KDEmod. I didn't have polish language charecters, so I wantet to change the font in KDE (using KDE Settings Tool) while I was switching through fonts and font's options - antialiasing, suddenly the fonts changed to ugly! I logged back to Gnome and its the same! I dont know what happened. When I delete the ~/.gconf I have the same problem, changing fonts in gnome-control-center doesnt help as all fonts there look ugly:
http://matchil.hopto.org/fonts.png
I've deleted the ~/.kde and even ~/.qt but its still the same. I have no idea what is responsible fot this? X11? Or maybe its some update error (I doubt it thou). Please help me as I am freaking out withi this fonts, I want me nice fonts back .
SOLUTION: rm -f ~/.fonts.conf

I've tried, but fc-cache -vf seems to rebuild the font cache, I've logged in to OpenBox and fonts in OB menu and in OB windows bars looks ok, but the one using gtk/qt no . I dont even know with which config files or setting should I mess with
I've also added a brand new user. I made him start gnome-session -> he has brilant fonts ! So its something in my home dir

[SOLVED] ConkySymbols font broken under KDE

Ever since the fontconfig update yesterday, the ConkySymbols font (http://wiltur.deviantart.com/#/d3ij3mi) is mysteriously broken for me. It just prints black rectangles instead.
All other fonts seem to be fine though. I've even downloaded the ConkySymbols .ttf again, but when I open the file in KDE Font Preview the preview pane stays blank.
How do I fix this? Of course it might also be due to the KDE 4.9.1 upgrade somehow, I'm not sure.

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

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

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

[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 ?

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 ?

Firefox fonts in KDE extremely tiny

I'm experiencing what seems to be a pretty common problem with the firefox fonts appearing really small in KDE. I've tried several things: Installed gtk-qt-engine --> That makes gtk apps look better in kde, but doesn't solve the firefox font problem. I've also tried altering the fonts and dpi in the firefox setttings as well. When I start x with
startx -- -dpi 96
That seems to blow up the fonts and firefox does appear much better. However, is there a cleaner way to do this? My dpi is listing at 72 right now.

Yes, that's because of pango.
I used to experience the small fonts, but after I set MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO to 1 the fonts were bigger. In addition, I think the small fonts are better.

Melting fonts in kde

this doesn't happen when using kde apps in openbox. i tried disabling desktop effects, but that had no effect on the situation (might have made it worse, in fact).
any ideas?

[solved] Xorg-1.8 + KDE on Asus 1201n : dupplicated Fn key event

Hello,
after upgrading to Xorg 1.8 one week ago, I noticed that my Fn keys (sound up/down, mute) were dupplicated. For example, if I press Fn+F10 (=MUTE/Unmute), the sound get muted and immediately unmuted.
Moreover,
My xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"

Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
10-evdev.conf:

# We don't simply match on any device since that also adds accelerometers
# and other devices that we don't really want to use. The list below

Nothing ?
Switchng off hal deamon and cleaning ~/.kde* has no effect...
So, after searching on google again an again, still nothing found.... even among the Ubuntu specific issue where post are terminated
with "wait next version of the package", the windows-style answer.
I will continue my attempts to fix this... but my conclusion about this is that hal was more precise in his behavior than udev...

[SOLVED] Lousy fonts with .chm viewer for Linux

I installed the .chm file viewer HelpExplorer 3.0 in both Windows XP and Arch Linux (chm = compiled HTML help file). In Windows XP, with default fonts installed, the fonts in text read with this viewer appear crisp, sharp and anti-aliased. In Arch with KDE 3.5.7, on the other hand, the fonts appear fuzzy, grainy and don't seem to be anti-aliased, in contrast with their appearance in all other apps (except for a few such as Dillo) which render text good-looking, sharp and anti-aliased.
HelpExplorer for Linux was provided as a tarball that included a precompiled 'helpexplorer' binary. The program doesn't seem to allow for customizing font settings.
The following fonts are installed in Arch (in /usr/share/fonts/):
ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-5 is installed by default
gsfonts 8.11-4 is installed by default
PostScript Type 1 fonts installed: Century Schoolbook, Nimbus, URW Bookman, URW Gothic, URW Palladio
ttf-ms-fonts-2.0-1 (Microsoft TTF: Andale Mono, Arial, Comic, Courier, Georgia, Impact, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Trebuchet)
font-bh-ttf-1.0.0-3 (Luxi BH)
xorg-fonts-100dpi-1.0.1-1 (courier, helvetica, lucida, new century, times)
The "Files" section of my xorg.conf looks as follows:

I've attached a screenshot of some text displayed in the HelpExplorer reader in Arch (the font is Times New Roman): http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?imag … ot1zh9.png

What do I need to do to improve the font appearance in this program in Linux?
Last edited by RobF (2007-10-02 18:06:46)

I found a solution of sorts by installing and running the Windows version of HelpExplorer in Wine or Crossover. There is still very little control over fonts but when I enlarge the default font (with 2x CTRL-+) I do get a nice-looking anti-aliased Times New Roman font, and this solution would be my preferred way of reading .chm files in Linux (i.e. better than KchmViewer or Xchm).
Recap of the problem:
1. The .chm viewer HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 when installed in Windows XP renders fonts crisp and clear and anti-aliased.
2. The Linux version of HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 (delivered as a precompiled executable in a tarball) doesn't render fonts antialiased, regardless of what I tried, and they look grainy and unattractive.
3. The Windows version of HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 when installed and run in Arch in Wine or Crossover does render the default font they offer (looks like Times New Roman) fairly crisp and clear and anti-aliased, at least at the enlarged setting.
Can someone explain to me what might be going on? Why is it that the Linux version cannot render fonts anti-aliased when the Windows version running in the emulator in Linux can? Is there something that I have to change in my fonts config, fonts location, symlinks or path to get the anti-aliased fonts to work in HelpExplorer in Linux?

[Solved] White screen after KDE 4.11.1 upgrade

Hi!
I updated the system going from KDE 4.11.0 to KDE 4.11.1. On reboot I got the correct loading of KDM, but upon arrival on the desktop the latter is presented fully white with big red button with an "X" in them. Thinking it was the configuration of kde, I deleted .kde4 with the effect that the next time I always white screen (that is only the red buttons have disappeared).
I try to remove completely kde with:
pacman -Rsnc kde
and seeing that reinstalling I get the same result, I also tried to clean up the cache pacman packages listed by the command:
ls kde*4.11.1*
so I redownload and reinstalled with:
pacman -Syu kde
without solution. I also tried to do what is recommended in the wiki, that is in addition to eliminating .kde4, I run:
$ rm ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
$ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
without solution.
Thinking then it might be the partition / almost full, I checked with:
df
but the partition is not filled even for half of the 30gb that is available.
I checked some logs and these are the outputs:

Thanks Thaodan! I deleted /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER and I solve the problem! I also restore .kde4_backup and at the moment have no issue.
Small question: I noticed that there are also kdecache-kdm and kdecache-root. I should remove it or doesn't matter?
Thanks for the help!
THANKS, my White Screen was caused by a combination of issues but this solution worked for me.
My Problem -
I am not sure exactly what caused my white screen, I was playing around with /etc/profile & /etc/sudoers
What I changed -
sudoers - I added my user group to sudoers and allowed sudo to execute applications using xauth in home dir
profile - changed umask to 133 ( I hate execute bit ) and default text editor to nano
What Happened -
Tried to reload via source but no changes where taking effect so I rebooted.
Upon reboot I could not login to KDE, it would keep looping back to the KDM after I entered by password for my user, however it would let me login as root ( after I enabled root login ).
I figured this was a permission issue so I changed umask back to 022 in /etc/profile, I was then greeted with the White Screen after login. I read numerous posts about how to fix this, most said to reinstall kde and delete /tmp, none of this worked.
I deleted /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER and now I am back in business ( I had to re set the widgets, i.e. panel ).
I was so excited that I had to write a post about it!
Thanks again!

[SOLVED] Java Font Too Small in OpenBox

I usually use Cinnamon, but decided to give OpenBox a whirl again. I am encountering a problem with OpenBox and the size of fonts in Java apps. I'm using the Oracle JDK, not OpenJDK.
These first screenshots show the font on OpenBox being too small:
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob1.png
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob2.png
As you can see, the fonts used for the controls is super tiny. As can be seen from the second example, the font can be configured in the editing portion through the applications. But the controls themselves remain too small.
When I log into the SAME account, but use Cinnamon, the fonts are fine. Reference:
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob3.png
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob4.png
So the only difference in these screenshots are the fonts. And the only difference is that I am using Cinnamon vs OpenBox. I;ve searched Google and the Wiki and the Forums, but I'm either not using the proper search terms or just overlooking the results. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Also, I am using the fontconfig-infinality stuff. I don't think that matters and again, Cinnamon works and OpenBox has too small a font. And the problem is only on Java apps, not other things.
Thanks in advance.

I've done more digging. I have this in my /etc/profile:
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.systemlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
Well, this screws up gdx-setup (the first screenshot). If I only use
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
Then gdx-setup looks fine. Netbeans was still messed up either way. I did find that it seems Netbeans has issues with the GTK+ look and feel on non-GTK platforms. So I reverted NetBeans to the (ugly) Metal theme and now the fonts are bigger.
So I am marking this as solved. It seems that the GTK+ look and feel is just not happy on non-GTK+ platforms. I guess that makes sense in a way.

(Solved) Openbox font too small

I've removed gnome and installed openbox, and now my fonts are too small. My firefox webpage fonts are fine, tint2 fonts are ok as well. But I think some leftover gnome setting is affecting it. I deleted .gnome2, but it's not working. What should I do?
EDIT: Fixed! Didn't think of Xorg at first
