Look at the huge amount of flexibility possible in /etc/fonts/ and ~/.fonts.conf
Yes, bitmap fonts are ugly - so turn them off. Read the massive xeffects thread for lots of examples. |

| Code: | /home/daffy $ cat .fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"><const>hintfull</const></edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<test name="weight" compare="more"><const>medium</const></test>
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"><const>hintnone</const></edit>
</match>
<selectfont>
<rejectfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="scalable"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
</pattern>
</rejectfont>
</selectfont>
</fontconfig>

The last section, from "<selectfont>" to "</selectfont>" disables bitmapped fonts. |

As an alternative, you can disable them globally using eselect.
| Code: | | eselect fontconfig enable 70-no-bitmaps.conf |
| Code: | | eselect fontconfig list |
Will show you all the different options that you can enable and disable globally. |

Wow, eselect fontconfig is pretty cool. Thanks for that pointer!
