Urxvt font colors problem

gpeev · 2016-09-09 20:07:29

Hi,
For quite some time I have been trying to figure this out with no success. Here is a picture:

On the left side the font is Anonymous Pro loaded with xft and on the right is GohuFont which is bitmap.
The problem is that the colors look quite different. Is there a way to make the xft font colors to look as good as
the bitmap?

to me the left one looks better, more touched up, etc. what exactly are you trying to get it to do? if you want it more pixellated, increase the font size or turn off font smoothing, etc

or just use the one on the right, that sounds like a perfectly sound workaround

Yes, I like the left one too. The problems is in the colors. You see how on the left everything is darker. That's what I don't like.

Check the pixel color with a tool like gpick and see if they are different (easier if you increase font size). The anti-aliasing may make it appear darker while it's in fact not.

If they're the same, look at a color table and make the colors slightly brighter to adjust.
