Very ugly fonts after uppgrade

Hi , after latest uppgrade all my fonts ,are ugly like hell.

As you see ,they arent "sharp" ,and are not even as black as they should ,look terrible. And they look like that in whole system not just in particular programs.
I tried to "repair" them ,but no luck. Can someone point me what should i do? I know that autohinting or subpikxel could help but i dont know where/how turn it on/off.

E65 ugly fonts

Hi,
I have a E65 telephone which I bought off ebay. I believe its a chineese version.
My wife bought a E65 from Thailand.
Both phones work reasonably well, but one thing I have noticed is the fonts on mine look very ugly - I believe they are not aliased like the ones on my wife.
Is there any known work around?
Sean

The phones made in China (marked 'made by Nokia') have these less nice looking fonts. Phones made in Finland have the nicer looking fonts and are available in all European markets. No way around this I'm afraid.
When a flash image is available for this phone, perhaps it will be possible to re-flash an Asian phone with a Euro image - who knows...

It is a upstream problem in openoffice.org, it doesn't obey your anti-aliasing or hinting options under freetype 2.2
This will be fixed in openoffice.org 2.1
I have tried to backport a fedora fix for this, and I tried it with my OpenOffice 2.0.4rc3 build from aur but it didn't build. Even if it did build it would probably break some other stuff.
I guess we have to wait for a better patch of openoffice 2.1
In any case, it is definitely not a problem with your installation.

UGLY font rendering in Firefox

Hello, my font rendering in Firefox is very ugly. I don't know what to do

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

created by sukritd15 in Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs - View the full discussionHi Deborah , I would like to know couple of things before I assist you further.1.Which version of Acrobat are you using ?2.Is it happening for all the scanned PDF' or any particular PDF? You can try these steps,Launch the scanned PDF >right click >Document Properties(from the drop down list) >Fonts(on the dialog box)>From here you will get the fonts used in that PDF . While editing the PDF ,select the text that are editing or typing in with the help of selection tool .After you select the text ,right click on the text and choose "edit text" from the drop down list .From there you will be able to choose the desired font .

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?

[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

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
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
and then entered:
fc-cache -vf
and the problem is now resolved.

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.

The new Mavericks Calendar uses very faint fonts, how can I increase the contrast?

The New Mavericks Calendar uses very faint fonts, how can I increase the contrast?

Hi,
One thing can help a little is the following. Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'. Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button. Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'. Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows and see if this has helped at all.
Regards,

Update of wine 1.3.33 to 1.3.34 = ugly fonts in Steam

I just updated wine on my Arch 64 machine from 1.3.33 to 1.3.34 and now I have ugly fonts in Steam. Does anyone else have that problem now? By the way I'm using infinality patches for freetype2 and lib32-freetype2 on my machine.

Why are my emails printing out with a very small font

why are all my emails printing out in a very small font? It takes a magnifying glass to read them.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a few weeks ago

Go to: file menu
print preview
check scale (mine was defaulting to 50%)
change to 100%
print
Fix it for me and the scale reset for future printing

Mail is printing in very small font

Out of the blue my mail (when printed) comes out in very small font. When viewing my mail this is not happening. I did not make any changes to my mail preferences and cannot find a location to reinstall a font which is at least 12 or 14 pt. when I choose to print something. Help.

First of all, your post above says you're running OS X Version 10.4.11, which is several years old now. Since this is a Mountain Lion forum, I will assume that your post is incorrect about your version.
Font size on print is determined, among other things, by making the page fit. Check the settings on the print page. They affect scaling:
