https://bbs.archlinux.org – OK then: before you do anything else, please take a look at your /etc/fonts/conf.avail and /etc/fonts/conf.d. This is where the font engine is actually tuned. The file 65-nonlatin.conf is the one when you can set priority of your non-latin fonts for a certain language. (The similarly named 40-nonlatin.conf lets you specify whether a font belongs to a serif or sans family, among others.) First, backup the original files, and then place on top of the list the font you'd want to use as a preferred one for Chinese. See if you can find a combination you like. (Of course, make sure you have hin (HowTos)

Per user fonts.conf file 30 weeks 6 days ago

In Kubuntu 12.04 using man fonts.conf i read:

~/.fonts.conf is the conventional location for per-user font configuration, although the actual location is specified in the global fonts.conf file.

But in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf i cannot find any settings giving me that local conf file path.

I am asking this, because in 12.10 the same command give me:

reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf

I think what you can try is to symlink one of those files into /etc/fonts/conf.d, and see if your fonts look better afterward.To set to try BGR,ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-bgr.conf /etc/fonts/conf.dAlso, it may be your desktop environment will let you set this instead of symlinking.  I know KDE lets you select subpixel order, as well as xfce4.   Probably gnome as well,

Font Configuration 39 weeks 1 day ago

Looking for some assistance on font configuration with Asian fonts, specifically, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. I have installed 1 or 2 TTF fonts for each respective language. However, for instance, Chinese is not displaying with the same font across.

I'm on the Ubuntu-patched version, using these /etc/fonts/conf.d symlinks with no modification:10-antialias.conf 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf 10-unhinted.conf 11-lcd-filter-lcddefault.conf 30-metric-aliases.conf 30-urw-aliases.conf 31-cantarell.conf 44-wqy-microhei.conf 45-latin.conf 49-sansserif.conf 53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf 60-latin.conf 90-synthetic.confIt should look like this in Chrome Dev:

I need to change fonts. I downloaded & installed a font from a fontsite online last night,

i boot up this morning and get this error message:

font config warning: font in /etc/font/fonts.d/50-user.config" line 9: reading configurations from ~/.conf is deprecated.

seems to have messed up Firefox 19 as well...can't open menus on it.

On OS X, monospaced fonts are slightly more weighted than the other fonts. This (I feel) helps bring out the colors more vividly.

Since I am on Linux, I'm trying to replicate the behavior.

I recently installed an entire family of fonts (Gill Sans for those interested) on my computer. When I open up OpenOffice to use them, however, I saw that in the drop-down font menu I only get to see Gill Sans Std, and unfortunately when I try and use that, it's actually Gill Sans Outline.

I can't see a way to choose between different fonts in a font family in OpenOffice - is there one?
