KDE Spin and fonts on GTK apps

[vivianjun]

Hi all,

I am currently using F17 KDE Spin. Everything works perfectly, including subpixel antialiasing (by freetype-freeworld package).

But I use Firefox as my main browser, and looks like GTK applications aren't following KDE antialiasing settings.

How should I proceed to make GTK applications (or at least Firefox), with the same antialiasing settings of my KDE environment (slight hinting, RGB)?

Thanks for any help,
V.

Mine seems to follow the same style....

Have you done this?

yum install -y qtcurve-gtk2

Also maybe try this. It's a tip I picked up years ago.... although I haven't had to do this in F17 KDE to get fonts looking good.

cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default

* = whatever your default folder is called, it's unique for every profile.

Create a file called user.js and add this -

user_pref("font.FreeType2.enable", "true");
user_pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", "true");
user_pref("font.FreeType2.printing", "true");
user_pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", "false");

In my kde spin I use this:

ln -sf /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/
# ln -sf /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/

Add the second link if the first is not enough.

If you are using Oxygen as your kde theme look at this - http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=117962
