QT fonts aliased

I don't when but after one of the upgrades (maybe a while back), all QT applications' fonts became all aliased, including Picard, Skype, Opera, among many other things.

What happened?

Re: QT fonts aliased

works for me.

anyway, please try to provide more details, what DE/WM are you using, are you using XSETTINGS based font preferences (GNOME, XFCE, LXDE etc.) or just plain .fonts.conf and so on.

I'd wager you haven't got your .fonts.conf set up properly. see the wiki for details.

Re: QT fonts aliased

I'm using Awesome, and am not aware of any font configuration programs on my computer.

I read through the wiki page on Fonts, and still have no clue what to do. What is the problem here? It says anti-alias is enabled by default, and I don't see any configuration on my side that disables this.

try and put this .fonts.conf in your home dir:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
   <match target="font" >
      <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
         <const>rgb</const>
      </edit>
   </match>
   <match target="font" >
      <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
         <bool>true</bool>
      </edit>
   </match>
   <match target="font" >
      <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
         <const>hintslight</const>
      </edit>
   </match>
   <match target="font" >
      <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
         <bool>true</bool>
      </edit>
   </match>
</fontconfig>

and reload X. defaults be defaults, one can never be too careful. maybe something changed in recent qt.

Re: QT fonts aliased

I am having this problem, too.  I just installed Opera 10.10 (along with all new everything -- new hard drive).  I am also using Awesome and no DE.  I tried the suggested .fonts.conf; no help.

Thanks - Hy

Re: QT fonts aliased

I installed ttf-ms-fonts and that fixed the problem.
