After the most recent update (yesterday) my fonts started to look like crap and I can't seem to figure out why or how to fix it, its really annoying me. Anyone have any ideas? Ive tried changing to a different font and restarting the X server/kdm, neither of which helped.

Yep that fixed it thanks guys.

KDM still looks bad for no matter what I do at the moment. Restarting doesn't help either.

brando56894 · 2009-12-28 20:50:15

Ive seen people say that their KDM looks crappy yet mine always looked like it did before, it seemed to affect on certain things.

fettouhi · 2009-12-29 11:24:21

It seems like anti-aliasing doesn't work in KDM at the moment. Can't figure out what is the cause of it though. Could it be the video drivers? What are people using that experience this problem with KDM? I'm using the latest nvidia beta drivers from AUR on 64 bit Arch Linux with KDEmod.

jospoortvliet · 2010-01-01 13:58:43

Hmmm I do tend to think it is a setting somewhere. The default font has been set to disable anti-aliasing or something...

So go to system-settings, advanced, login manager, enter passwd, and on the first screen choose 'enable anti-aliassing'. Haven't rebooted yet to try it but it seems to make sense ;-)

Anti-aliasing is already enabled on KDM. The option is set so something is broken.

Yep, after logging out and in again I noticed that too ;-)

Strange, as you can simply set it after logging in from Systemsettings. Maybe a xorg thing?!?

Anybody been able to debug this issue?

manutortosa · 2010-01-11 15:06:18

I'm searching a workaround now....

manutortosa · 2010-01-17 02:48:36

Well i found a workaround, you must edit your /etc/fonts/fonts.conf and search these lines:



<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>

<dir>~/.fonts</dir>

and after these lines add these:



<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
<const>hintslight</const>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>

Now save and reboot, KDM fonts solved, i tested in some resolutions, anyone can test it please?

This fixed both the KDM fonts and the fonts when opening folders/files as root.

Thnx

fettouhi · 2010-01-18 19:20:34

Yep, that fixed it for me also.
