From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.0.2 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020102 Description of problem: After the XFree86-4.1.0-15 update, smaller fonts were rendered w/o aa. while this range is configurable, i cannot override the settings in /etc/X11/XftConfig by changing things in ~/.xftconfig, because XftConfig includes .xftconfig at the beginning, then overrides my settings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XFree86-4.1.0-15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. edit ~/.xftconfig to contain: # # Don't antialias small fonts # match any size < 12 any size > 8 edit antialias=false; match any size >= 12 edit antialias=true; 2. run a gnome 2.x application with GDK_USE_XFT=1 set in the environment Actual Results: Fonts of size 12 are not rendered with AA. Expected Results: Fonts of size 12 are rendered with AA. Additional info:
I've made changes to this a while back after chatting in IRC with Keith Packard about it. I think our current config is much better now in XFree86 4.2.0-6.45. Please let me know if the new packages work better now for you. You can catch me on #xfree86 on OPN also to discuss stuff with if you like.
