LCD-Filtering overlay
Funtoo Linux planning to integrate LCD-filtering overlay into main tree in order to have very good font experience. Before that the overlay available via layman and manual steps required as described below. Overlay consist of patched versions of cairo, libXft, fontconfig, freetype with the aim of getting nice hinting and rendering, emulate the Ubuntu/MS Windows/Mac OS X fonts appearance.
Setting up overlay and configure portage
# layman -a lcd-filtering # echo "media-libs/fontconfig -cleartype lcdfilter" >> /etc/portage/package.use/fonts # echo "media-libs/freetype -bindist -cleartype lcdfilter" >> /etc/portage/package.use/fonts # echo "x11-libs/cairo -cleartype lcdfilter" >> /etc/portage/package.use/fonts # echo "x11-libs/libXft -cleartype lcdfilter" >> /etc/portage/package.use/fonts
Install the packages
# emerge -uN fontconfig freetype cairo libXft
