Can't get part of Firefox font to look right

colbert · 2010-11-13 23:38:36

This occurs on some sites only, and I have to zoom in to them to read them properly. I don't know how that might look on another screen but I am using 1920x1200 @ 26" monitor, and it is very tiny. I can't get it to change by altering Firefox preferences in the font setting, and I am using the packages cairo, freetype2-infinality, fontconfig, libxft. Here is my ~/.fonts.conf:

└─> cat .fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
   <const>none</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>hintmedium</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>

Rest of FF fonts look fine for the most part, but pic above style font is showing on some sites that seem to use that layout or similar and I check those sites regularly. Appreciate any help

The firefox in the repos isn't compiled with system cairo, so it won't follow any of your font settings.

You can compile it with abs with this uncommented in mozconfig (note that the reason it was disabled is because it breaks some animated gifs, but now fonts are bad):

#ac_add_options --enable-system-cairo

Also, you shouldn't use that configuration with infinality. It disables horizontal hinting because it's designed to work with subpixel AA, with full BCI hinting for well hinted fonts and hintslight autohint for poorly hinted ones. You should copy the base infinality config and get rid of all the font replacements, aliases and preferred fonts if you don't want them (you probably don't).

http://www.infinality.net/files/local.conf <-- here's a link for the infinality config

Thanks thestinger! Okay so I replaced my fonts.conf with that local.conf, but taking out the replacements, aliases and preferred fonts. Things look better in many respects, but now a new urxvt shell shows a fudged font. I have it set to Terminus but it looks like this now:

Before was:

Also, my OP pic sites using that kind of font is now like this:

A bit better but still kinda fuzzy and too tiny. I'm a bit afraid to tamper with the .fonts.conf, any pointers would be appreciated as to what may help, thanks a lot!!

It looks like bitmap fonts were disabled because that first screenshot is definitely not Terminus.

thestinger · 2010-11-14 19:43:46

the infinality config disables bitmap fonts in 2 different ways

    <!-- reject bitmap fonts -->
    <selectfont>
        <rejectfont>
            <pattern>
                <patelt name="scalable">
                    <bool>false</bool>
                </patelt>
            </pattern>
        </rejectfont>
    </selectfont>
    <!-- substitute truetype fonts for bitmap ones -->
    <match target="pattern">
        <edit name="prefer_outline">
            <bool>true</bool>
        </edit>
    </match>

If you take those out, terminus should look fine again.

But it's still a bitmap font, so it won't have subpixel AA (or hinting). If you decide to use a non-bitmap font (Consolas from ttf-vista-fonts is nice, as are DejaVu and Droid Sans Mono), you'll have to install libxft-lcd to get properly filtered fonts.

EDIT: before trying to fix the font in that screen, make sure both ttf-ms-fonts and ttf-vista-fonts (AUR package) are installed. If you can find out what font it is (in the stylesheet), that would help us figure out what's wrong - you might have to add it (or remove it) from the list of slight autohinted fonts in the config. It could also be a font with no bold type being fake bolded (it doesn't always work well).

Thanks, I have taken that out of the fonts.conf, and now urxvt is fine with Terminus.

For the site, I did View > Page Source and this was at the top, not sure if this is exactly what you're referring to:

<style type="text/css">
.tag_cloud
{padding: 3px; text-decoration: none;
font-family: "comic sans ms";}
.tag_cloud:link { color: #0099FF; text-decoration:none;}
.tag_cloud:visited { color: #00CCFF; }
.tag_cloud:hover { color: #7c0000; background: #00CCFF; }
.tag_cloud:active { color: #0000FF; background: #FFFFFF; }
</style>

thestinger · 2010-11-15 03:41:22

I used to have a similar problem, so you might have the same issue I did.

At least with infinality, the font rendering looks a lot better if your monitor's dpi is set to the actual dpi (probably not 96), so you might want to try this. I've never gotten xorg to set the dpi right automatically (with nvidia, intel, nouveau, whatever) so that might be what's wrong.

For example, the monitor on the computer I'm using now has 102 dpi. With the nvidia blob, 101 dpi is detected, nouveau just uses 96dpi.

colbert · 2010-11-15 03:58:32

Okay, checked that and this is what it showed:

└─>  xdpyinfo | grep dimensions
  dimensions:    1920x1200 pixels (574x372 millimeters)
┌─[ 11/14/10 10:49:41 PM ][ ~ ]
└─> xdpyinfo | grep "dots per inch"
  resolution:    85x82 dots per inch

I do not know if this is "correct" or not?? I followed the calculations there using my 1920x1200 res and got:

┌─[ 11/14/10 10:49:41 PM ][ ~ ]
└─> echo 'scale=5;sqrt(1920+1200^2)' | bc
1200.79973
└─> echo 'scale=5;(13.3/1200)*1920*25.4' | bc
540.34944
┌─[ 11/14/10 10:49:41 PM ][ ~ ]
└─> echo 'scale=5;(13.3/1200)*1200*25.4' | bc
337.71840

Also checking for DPI in xorg.conf I found:

└─> grep dpi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
#    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
#    FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi"
    Option         "UseEdidDpi" "false"
    Option         "DPI" "100 x 100"

Err I'm confused now So what do I modify here?

anonymous_user · 2010-11-15 04:38:46

First off I think your first calculation is wrong. You forgot a square. I got this:

~ $ echo 'scale=5;sqrt(1920^2+1200^2)' | bc
2264.15547

Your second calculations are wrong too. You used 13.3 although I highly doubt thats the correct size of your monitor's screen.

Those calculation are for the screen size. Heres the example from the wiki:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Monitor0"
    DisplaySize 286 179    # In millimeters
EndSection

colbert · 2010-11-15 06:28:38

Ack, you're right! I didn't modify the lines properly. Okay, redid them I think correctly:

└─> echo 'scale=5;sqrt(1920^2+1200^2)' | bc
2264.15547
┌─[ 11/15/10 10:49:41 PM ][ ~ ]
└─> echo 'scale=5;(26/2264)*1920*25.4' | bc
559.85664
┌─[ 11/15/10 10:49:41 PM ][ ~ ]
└─> echo 'scale=5;(26/2264)*1200*25.4' | bc
349.91040

Using 26 as my monitor is 26". Now if I'm right on the above (correct if wrong plz lol) then, using this calculator (http://www.unitconversion.org/typograph … rsion.html) I get:

559 = 147.902083333 mm
349 = 92.339583333 mm

So would my correct DPI be 147 (or 148) x 92? If so, should I pop that into the xorg.conf? Thanks so much for your help so far!!

anonymous_user · 2010-11-15 15:31:41

I think the values are already in millimeters. Also I do believe you have to add those values for DisplaySize not DPI.

thestinger · 2010-11-15 16:44:38

You need to add this to the monitor section:
DisplaySize 650 350

and get rid of the existing "DPI" line.

Here's my xorg.conf as an example:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier      "X.org Configured"
    Screen       0  "Screen0" 0 0
    Option          "BlankTime" "0"
    Option          "StandbyTime" "0"
    Option          "SuspendTime" "0"
    Option          "OffTime" "0"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier      "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option          "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier      "Monitor0"
    VendorName      "Acer"
    ModelName       "Acer H213H"
    DisplaySize      476 268
    HorizSync        30.0 - 80.0
    VertRefresh      55.0 - 75.0
    Option          "DPMS" "0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier      "Device0"
    Driver          "nouveau"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier      "Screen0"
    Device          "Device0"
    Monitor         "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection      "Display"
        Depth        24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

this is your monitor's actual dpi, which is what xdpyinfo should return after you have the proper DisplaySize set: 87.08 PPI (it will round it to 87 though)

thestinger · 2010-11-15 22:20:00

Option "UseEdidDpi" "false"

add this to this device section (to avoid nvidia choosing the dpi itself, which is what's happening):

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "GeForce 8800 GT"
EndSection

and delete this whole section (it's a useless duplicate of device0)

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Videocard0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "GeForce 8800 GT"
    Option         "UseEdidDpi" "false"
#    Option         "DPI" "100 x 100"
EndSection

Also, you can get rid of your two "InputDevice" sections for mouse/keyboard since evdev handles that all now automatically (the old keyboard/mouse drivers are basically obsolete).

And you probably don't need either of these:

Section "Extensions"
    Option         "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
#    Option       "AutoAddDevices" "False"
    Option         "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection

Thanks a lot! Okay I did that and it seems to have worked:

└─> xdpyinfo | grep "dots per inch"
  resolution:    75x87 dots per inch

Things definitely look different all-around and better. Those sites I was screenshotting are now a bit bigger, no longer need to zoom just to read them However, it is looking like Firefox is using the same font style for the screenshots I put for a bunch of sites now (gmail/youtube).

thestinger · 2010-11-16 06:46:31

hmm... I think it should be 87x87, you might have to set it manually with xrandr --dpi 87 in xinitrc or Option "DPI" "87 x 87" instead of displaysize in xorg.conf (this all seems like the nvidia driver screwing up, unless your monitor is really weird and the pixels are long rectangles )

Okay I did that, I put the line Option "DPI" "87x 87" and it shows that with the xdpyinfo line and things seem right. The site screenshots I had above, for those it's a bit bigger, no need to zoom in just to read them now. However they are still strange: http://imgur.com/iuI2Q.png ??

I just reinstalled and dang, they were all installed already. Retried build and same error, I'll make another thread.

colbert · 2010-11-22 17:42:19

Okay I fixed that up a few days ago and currently I have installed: cairo, libxft-ubuntu, fontconfig-ubuntu, freetype2-infinality as well as firefox-pgo.

Here is my ~/.fonts.conf: http://pastebin.ca/1999123
Here is my Firefox fonts settings: http://imgur.com/KLeZJ.png

Fonts are looking good for the most part, kind of Comic Sans-ish still on some things like the sites I screenshotted previous, here is another shot from just now from one of those sites: http://i.imgur.com/0KvN8.png The font is clearly larger but still too bolded.

And I'm seeing now some sites (many news sites) looking like this: http://imgur.com/Yz0Y4.png I hope that comes across in the pic, it looks like some of the characters' edges are faded or something, not sure exactly how to describe but that is the pic...

Really appreciate the help, thx so much!!

thestinger · 2010-11-22 18:21:12

Try using this as .fonts.conf (it's what I use right now, basically just really stripped down version of the newest infinality config, the font replacements just replace Helvetica clones with Arial) and make sure you have the newest infinality package (last updated on nov 16th). Slight autohinting is the default, with full normal hinting for good fonts only, which might fix those really thin fonts.
