[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

  • [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] 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 ?

  • 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.
    JSkier

    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" >
    <test compare="eq" name="family" qual="any" >
    <string>Arial</string>
    <string>Arial Black</string>
    <string>Comic Sans MS</string>
    <string>Courier New</string>
    <string>Georgia</string>
    <string>Tahoma</string>
    <string>Times New Roman</string>
    <string>Trebuchet MS</string>
    <string>Verdana</string>
    <string>Webdings</string>
    </test>
    <test compare="less" name="size" qual="any" >
    <double>16</double>
    </test>
    <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
    <bool>false</bool>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font" >
    <test compare="eq" name="family" qual="any" >
    <string>Arial</string>
    <string>Arial Black</string>
    <string>Comic Sans MS</string>
    <string>Courier New</string>
    <string>Georgia</string>
    <string>Tahoma</string>
    <string>Times New Roman</string>
    <string>Trebuchet MS</string>
    <string>Verdana</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!

  • Ugly fonts in evince

    Noticed that evince shows ugly fonts for some pdfs, while okular renders them fine. Any way to fix that?

    Hi,
    This is because of a known bug with poppler. They say it will be fixed in poppler 0.14. If you want to patch the current version of poppler you can use one of the patches here:
    http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5589
    Use "makepkg -o" with the poppler PKGBUILD, apply the patch in the src directory, then do "makepkg -e".  This will rebuild poppler, poppler-glib, and poppler-qt packages. For evince, you need to install poppler and poppler-glib.
    I was able to patch and build poppler and poppler-glib 0.12.4 with patch #31683, but I had to fix one hunk by hand. This solved the rendering problem.
    Or, you can just wait for the updated version of poppler and use xpdf until then. xpdf doesn't have this problem.

  • Fonts in KDE 3.2

  • Severely ugly fonts in openjdk6 from testing

    I have been using icedtea6 from AUR for months now and I just replaced it with openjdk6 from testing. icedtea6 had ugly fonts, but openjdk6 has severely ugly fonts. It's not too horrible with regular fonts, but it is with bold. A good test is the Font2DTest:
    java -jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/demo/jfc/Font2DTest/Font2DTest.jar
    Does anyone know whether it's possible yet to get good fonts in openjdk6? If so, how?
    Last edited by skottish (2008-08-04 18:30:19)

    Problem is still here in openjdk6, not in jre/jdk.
    I think it is related to: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495988
    Our fontconfig.properties.src is correct, but we have no compilefontconfig.jar, so I cannot try what the bug reporter mentioned, "java -jar compilefontconfig.jar fontconfig.config fontconfig.bfc".
    In Ubuntu, they added that file in 6b10-1: "* Install compilefontconfig.jar in openjdk-6-jre-lib package."
    Should we have that file?

  • Ugly fonts in all qt programs

    Recently all my qt programs (even qtconfig itself) has ugly fonts.
    It must be some new packages but I dont know which.
    I already tired to remove ~/.fonts.conf to restore the defaults, but it remains the same.
    Can anyone help?

    I managed to fix the problem. I created the file "~/.fonts.conf" with

  • Update of wine 1.3.33 to 1.3.34 = ugly fonts in Steam

  • [SOLVED] ugly cyrillic fonts in all Qt applications

    I want all my applications gtk and qt alike have the same gui style.
    For gtk applications I use "lxappearance" and for qt I use "qtconfig".
    However, as soon as I change gui style to gtk in qtconfig, all cyrillic input becomes ugly (see pic http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/44 … 9scu.png/) whaver font I try.
    Can somebody provide a workaround please?

    oh so fast!
    just solved it, you should select Dejavu Sans (book) in lxappearance for all gtk apps, this font seems to work ok with cyrillic in all qt applications.

  • [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.

  • [SOLVED] Incorrect / Ugly Fonts in Epiphany Web Browser

    Hello everyone. I've done a ton of a searching (here and google) on this subject to no avail. It seems fonts on Facebook / Tumblr as well as some other sites have very incorrectly rendered fonts.

    Here are some screenshots of what I am seeing.

  • 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

    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] Firefox ugly font rendering

    Hello,
    straight to the point
    Chrome:

    Firefox:
    http://i.imgur.com/PYH7pua.png
    This happens only on some websites, and the workarounds found in the wiki articles[1] don't work for me.
    I don't know if this is helpful, if you need more information just ask:
    ls /etc/fonts/conf.d
    10-autohint.conf 20-unhint-small-vera.conf 40-nonlatin.conf 51-local.conf 60-latin.conf 80-delicious.conf
    20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans.conf 29-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf 45-latin.conf 57-dejavu-sans.conf 65-fonts-persian.conf 90-synthetic.conf
    20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans-mono.conf 30-metric-aliases.conf 49-sansserif.conf 57-dejavu-sans-mono.conf 65-nonlatin.conf README
    20-unhint-small-dejavu-serif.conf 30-urw-aliases.conf 50-user.conf 57-dejavu-serif.conf 69-unifont.conf
    I don't have any fonts/local.conf nor .fonts.conf in ~.
    Someone knows how to troubleshoot/resolve this?
    Thanks

    Looks like you want these fontconfig options, from Infinality's config:
    <!-- Prevent Gnome from using embedded bitmaps in fonts like Calibri -->
    <match target="font">
    <edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
    </match>
    <!-- Reject bitmap fonts in favour of Truetype, Postscript, etc. -->
    <match target="font">
    <selectfont><rejectfont><pattern>
    <patelt name="scalable"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
    </pattern></rejectfont></selectfont>
    </match>
    <!-- Substitute truetype fonts for bitmap ones -->
    <match target="font">
    <edit name="prefer_outline"><bool>true</bool></edit>
    </match>
    Thanks for sharing this! Your solution works almost perfectly. However, I get regularly the following terminal output (warning messages):
    Fontconfig warning: "local.conf", line 36: No <test> nor <edit> elements in <match>
    ...which Should be simple to fix. However, forgive me. I'm not very familiar with the code itself. Any quick help is appreciated.
    The problematic code string states as follows:
    <!-- Reject bitmap fonts in favour of Truetype, Postscript, etc. -->
    <match target="font">
    <selectfont><rejectfont><pattern>
    <patelt name="scalable"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
    </pattern></rejectfont></selectfont>
    </match>
