I have Fedora 17 beta installed and Windows Vista fonts also are installed.
but, Two Windows fonts looks ugly in small sizes and these are "Calibri" and "Cambria".
What is the right solution to fix this issue?
Here is what I did so far:
1) installed freetype-freeworld and enabled sub pixel rendering and font anti aliasing.
instead of ~/.fonts.conf, I have a ~/.Xresources file containing:
Code:
Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.rgba: rgb
2) For the issue of ugly bit map font rendering, I edited /etc/fonts/conf.d/25-no-bitmap-fedora.conf and added below lines before the closing of the file(</fontconfig>)
Code:
<match target="font">
<test qual="any" name="family">
<string>Calibri</string>
</test>
<edit name="embeddedbitmap"><bool>false</bool></edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<test qual="any" name="family">
<string>Cambria</string>
</test>
<edit name="embeddedbitmap"><bool>false</bool></edit>
</match>
I see this problem is resolved and Calibri,Cambria renders fine.
however, is this the correct method?
TIA+
