Description Marcus Moeller 2012-09-27 08:29:06 EDT

I have created a fonts.conf configuration file $HOME/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
       <match target="font" >
              <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
                     <const>none</const>
              </edit>
       </match>
       <match target="font" >
              <edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
                     <bool>true</bool>
              </edit>
       </match>
       <match target="font" >
               <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
               <const>hintfull</const>
               </edit>
       </match> 	
</fontconfig>


According to xrdb -q (after re-login) the following values are set:

Xft.dpi:	96
Xft.hinting:	true
Xft.hintstyle:	hintmedium

So the config seems to be ignored.

Comment 1 Akira TAGOH 2012-09-27 22:12:34 EDT

fontconfig itself doesn't apply own config to X resources. try fc-match -v and see those values are applied there. given that it's a bug, I have no idea who is responsible.

Comment 2 Marcus Moeller 2012-09-28 02:58:25 EDT

Yes fc-match -v lists the correct settings. So do you have any ideas why they are not applied to X resources?

Comment 3 Akira TAGOH 2012-09-28 03:50:47 EDT

At least I can see hardcoding X resources in /etc/X11/Xresources. again, I have no idea who is responsible to _update_. anyway, it's not a bug for fontconfig. if you are not sure where this should be reassigned to, I'll close this.

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2012-10-09 23:07:12 EDT

Please reopen and correct the component if you see who's responsible to update Xresources for that.
