Description udayb 2010-03-06 20:14:57 UTC

Description of problem:

Lost anti-aliased fonts on KDE 4.4 after using default from KDE settings.
Anti-aliasing was working fine, but I wanted to change my font sizes back to 
default sizes. I hit System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts -> Defaults. 
All anti-aliasing went away. Logging out and logging in, restarting X
server, or using "Enabled" explicitly for anti-aliased fonts didn't help.
This happended after a yum update that I assume updated a number of packages.

Graphics: Intel 865G integrated


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm -q kde-settings
kde-settings-4.2-17.noarch
rpm -q kdelibs
kdelibs-4.4.0-9.fc11.i586


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
Hit "Defaults" at System settings -> Appearance -> Fonts

 
Actual results:

Cannot get back anti-aliased fonts


Expected results:

gtk-demo - no anti-aliased fonts

Comment 2 udayb 2010-03-06 20:33:23 UTC

Just to add none of the applications display anti-aliased fonts: plasma, firefox, konsole, gtk apps, gtk-demo, ...

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2010-03-06 22:08:08 UTC

This is more than just kde then.  kde settings only affect qt/kde apps.  gtk apps aren't (or shouldn't be) affected by them.

Comment 4 udayb 2010-03-07 00:42:18 UTC

Yes, but it was triggered by KDE System Settings. I've changed the component to xorg-x11-fonts. Would it be the appropriate one?

Comment 5 udayb 2010-03-07 22:09:24 UTC

rpm -Va --nofiles  does not show anything missing.

~/.fonts.conf

KD System Settings seems to have created/changed my ~/.fonts.conf and this caused the problem. Removing my ~/.fonts.conf solved the problem, putting it back always reproduces the problem. It's attached; also below.

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2010-03-07 23:06:18 UTC

So, it was set to disable antialiasing for font sizes 8-15, and it did so.

Setting antialiasing to Enabled and using that value was the likely trigger.

In this day and age, setting exclude ranges in the "Enabled" default probably makes very little sense.  Let's see if we can disable that by default (and lobby upstream to do the same).

So, for posterity, if you do not want this, make sure the "exclude range" option is not set.

Comment 8 udayb 2010-03-07 23:46:53 UTC

I don't see "exclude ranges" anywhere. Changing "use anti-aliasing" to "Enabled" or "System Settings" hadn't fixed the problem when it existed. From an end-user's perspective, this is quite frustrating. I did have font sizes around 10/11 earlier and anti-aliasing was working. 

Where does it say in the interface that font sizes 8-15 have anti-aliasing disabled?

Comment 9 Rex Dieter 2010-03-07 23:51:10 UTC

Set antialiasing to Enabled (not System Settings), then click the button next to it labeled "Configure"

Comment 10 udayb 2010-03-07 23:56:34 UTC

Did you mean sizes 8-15 are excluded by default by "Enabled" is chosen? But these are the sizes one typically uses.

Comment 11 Rex Dieter 2010-03-08 00:05:11 UTC

yes, that's the enabled/default that I was suggesting we change (as you noticed, it's far from ideal).

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 11:55:57 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 13 Rex Dieter 2010-04-28 13:29:34 UTC

Still valid, rebasing to rawhide

Comment 14 Rex Dieter 2011-03-10 18:49:49 UTC

confirmed good in f15 (not entirely sure if it's f15 fontconfig default being better or kde-4.6.x yet).

Will assume the latter, until proven otherwise.
