firefox aliased/jagged fonts in xfce
I've been using linux mint 7 for a couple of weeks now and I'm pretty happy with it, but I wanted to try out other desktops, e.g. KDE/Xfce
I'm not sure if it's KDE's fault of Xfce's, but firefox's font rendering sucks now, it renders jagged/aliased fonts.
I'm using xfce right now,
My Xfce settings Manager > appearance > fonts
settings roughly look like this:
Default Font: Sans | 9 Rendring : [x] Enable anti-aliasing Hinting: None Sub-pixel Order: None
But it's as if firefox ignores these settings!
Solution 1:
Try editing your .fonts.conf
file under your home directory (~/.fonts.conf
).
This works well for me:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
