 Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2005 1:02 am Post subject: Antialiased fonts using the nvidia driver |
 |
|
When using the "nv" driver, my window fonts in KDE are antialiased. If I swap the driver to "nvidia", they're much uglier! I have tried turning on antialiasing in nvidia-settings, to no avail.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? xorg.conf is below:
| Code: |
Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
# This loads the font modules
Load "type1"
# Load "speedo"
Load "freetype"
# Load "xtt"
# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
# Load "dri"
EndSection
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"

Change Section "Module" to:
| Code: | Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "freetype"
Load "bitmap"
Load "type1"
Load "vbe"
Load "extmod" # Very important
EndSection |
