 |
|
I've been the "lucky" recipient of a load of Word files from a Windows enthusiast, all written in Calibri, one of the fonts given away with Windows Vista. (IMHO ugly, especially when printed). Normally it gets rendered by Libreoffice OK, but at certain sizes it's truly hideous.
An internet search turned up an article that explains that Calibri includes a nasty bitmap font that gets used in preference to the drawn font, for reasons I can't imagine. The article's solution, which appears to work for me, is including a snippet | Code: | <match target="font" >
<edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match> |
in my local .fonts.conf file.
It looks the sort of snippet that could be usefully shipped as part of the Gentoo eselect fontconfig setup, but I expect that reflects upstream.

Does enabling `70-no-bitmaps.conf` via `eselect fontconfig` also work (i.e. in the absence of the snippet you described)? |
