http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hello everyone! Yesterday I have upgraded my system to f18 with fedup and faced a strange problem with font smoothing. It touches Cyrillic fonts, not sure about Latin ones. Not only this pdf is affected, system fonts ( like file names in nautilus ) also became to look like crap.:Y I attached a screenshot where you can see the difference. On the left is a livecd with f17 running fine in virtualbox. On the right is my current system. I also tried it with a live image of f18, but nothing changed. I installed gnome-tweak tool in both systems - configuration is the same ( medium hinting and graysca (HowTos)

Font display issue (Mac OS X)? 34 weeks 5 days ago

I used a font manager on Mac OS X, for additional fonts in my graphic design projects without installing them to the fonts folder (I think that's how it works) - using Font Book and Font Explorer X Version 1.2.3 on OS X 10.6.

Most fonts work fine, but Interstate has a problem:

Interstate Regular is installed, but for some reason it's probably not seeing it; it's seeing all the Bold and Condense

Fedora 18: Xfig fonts 14 weeks 6 days ago

I am running fedora 18 with Mate Desktop. I have installed xfig. It complains of missing fonts for practically all fonts. Those fonts which do show up are spaced wide apart.

I have installed xorg-x11-font-misc in addition to a whole lot of fonts needed by latex. I have also installed msttcore-fonts.

Did you see Ivan's font topic: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=18249 ?After you installed the fonts, did you rebuild the font cache?BlackIvan wrote:If you want to install some new fonts, especially bitmap fonts from outside the repos put them under ~/.fonts or for system wide use under /usr/share/fonts.

I have accidentally deleted some of the fonts from /usr/share/fonts folder. They must have been crucial since now I have various display problems ( underscore and font size display ).

I have already tried resetting gnome and system fonts settings but it does not solve the problem.

I know that:

Default font-is just default Document font-for Documents Window title fonts is for titles.

What the others are for? What is monospace font? I only know it's a font like any font.

Hinting is for notices like the names of objects in the dock, isn't it?

Font-Size KDE - Opensuse 11.2 3 years 25 weeks ago

Hello,

I just installed the new OpenSuse Release and noticed that the fonts are much bigger than in my Debian installation with the same KDE Version.

I have a large archive of fonts (about 16,000 fonts) that I need convenient access to, without actually installing them all and bogging down my system.

I have attached an image of the badly rendered font.

This started happening after upgrading 12.04 (I was on 10.10 before that). The chrome version is Version 22.0.1229.39 beta. Font for the text in multi-color is "CallunaBlack". If I change it to Arial or Times New Roman, it is displayed correctly. The problem may be limited to webfonts.

Initially I had problem with many fonts.
