Nightingale and system font settings

Dear All,

I have been using the Nightingale music player recently:

http://getnightingale.com/

mainly because it seems to be the only one able to deal with the "album artist" tags in my mp3 files in a satisfactory way. The big problem for mr is that Nightingale does not seem to respect the system font configuration when it comes to subpixel hinting, and thus it look out of place on the desktop. This link:

Talks about Songbird, of which Nightingale is a fork, and suggests to compile it with the --enable-system-cairo flag. The problem is that adding this to the nightingale.config file in the PKGBUILD has no effect. Looking at this spec file for the OpenSuse package:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/view … 1587932567

It seems that I have to add the option to the config file for xulrunner, not to the one for nightingale itself. The config file mentioned in the spec, however, does not exists in the current source of Nightingale.

Does anyone know where the option should be put, or, in general, how to force Nightingale to respect the system font settings?

Thank you
