fonts.conf syntax

[bendy]

Okay, like many I was caught out by the latest xfree upgrade. I thought I had anti-aliasing sorted and working using Xftconfig, however following other posts I've got it generally working by editing fonts.conf and running fc-cache. The trouble is that everything is anti-aliased now. Does anyone know the correct syntax to do what this does in Xftconfig?

Same problem. If you look a few threads down, I posted pretty much the exact same thing, with exact same result... I read the WHOLE man page of the darned thing, and I came up with about the same thing as you (a little more complex because I was more picky), but more or less, I have the same problem.

I actualy saw your post on the mailing list about it, and thats where I decided to read the man page=P What a small world.

Now, my guess is that there is either a small logic mistake in our code, or something we are forgetting to actualy make it work... Question is, what...

With the Xftconfig file, there was a ton of ressources and exemples about it... With fonts.conf, there is nothing that comes up on google, and no one bothered writting exemples, aside the man page...and the exemples on the man page are limited...

Until then, I just run without any antialiasing...fonts look like Windows default that way. Good enough for the time being...but I miss my antialiasing on large fonts.


Anyway, _however_ I read that you should be using match target="font" or something, instead of pattern, to be sure what you want is caught. But even that didn't help.

I'm locking this thread in favor of the grandmaster XFree 4.2.1 font problems thread. If you can't find a solution to your problem there, feel free to repost your messages in that thread.
