| Linux font quality is a chronic issue, by default fonts configuration far from ideal look. This can solved by rebuilding <tt>media-libs/fontconfig</tt> with the infinality USE flag, which applies the infinality patch set. Infinality patches were previously available only in the lcd-filtering overlay and have now been merged into the main Funtoo portage tree.

| == Freetype ==
| |
| Freetype can be configured through environment variables (see <tt>/etc/env.d/99lcdfilter</tt> for a list of the variables and their description). Those variables can be overridden on a per-user basis by either redefining them in a startup file (such as <tt>~/.bash_profile</tt>) or by sourcing the <tt>/usr/lib/ft-settings.sh</tt> script with the desired style in parameter (you can, of course, source the script from a startup file).
| |
| | |
| usage: source ft-settings.sh <style>
| |
| | |
| <console> | |
| Possible styles:
| |
| default - Use default settings. A compromise that should please most people
| |
| osx - Simulate OSX rendering
| |
| ubuntu - Simulate UBUNTU rendering
| |
| linux - Generic Linux style - no snapping or certain other tweaks
| |
| windows - Simulate Windows rendering
| |
| vanilla - Just subpixel hinting
| |
| | |
| Infinality styles:
| |
| classic - Infinality rendering circa 2010. No snapping
| |
| nudge - CLASSIC with lightly stem snapping and tweaks
| |
| push - CLASSIC with medium stem snapping and tweaks
| |
| shove - Full stem snapping and tweaks without sharpening
| |
| sharpened - Full stem snapping, tweaks, and Windows-style sharpening
| |
| infinality - Settings used by Infinality
| |
| </console> | |
| == LibXft ==
| |
| Only legacy programs still use libXft. The default configuration is defined in <tt>/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/Xft</tt>. It can be overriden on a per-user basis in the <tt>~/.Xresources</tt> or <tt>~/.Xdefaults</tt> files:
| |
| | |
| {{file|name=~/.Xdefaults|desc= |body= | |
| Xft.antialias: 1
| |
| Xft.autohint: 0
| |
| Xft.dpi: 96
| |
| Xft.hinting: 1
| |
| Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
| |
| Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
| |
| Xft.rgba: rgb
