Ugly fonts in GTK apps on e17

Davigetto · 2008-01-11 18:12:21

Hello, I would want to know how I can change the fonts of GTK apps in e17, cause it looks really ugly compared with gnome...

This is my gnome desktop:

And this my e17 desktop:

What can I do?

Greetings

can i be honest?!

imo the fonts in e17 are looking better than on the gnome-shot!

the fonts in gnome are blurred and letters like the "m" look like i'm squinting.

this is my /etc/fonts/local.conf:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
    <!-- Info at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts -->

    <!-- Replace Courier with a better-looking font -->
    <match target="pattern" name="family">
        <test name="family" qual="any">
            <string>Courier</string>
        </test>
        <edit name="family" mode="assign">
            <!-- Other choices - Courier New, Luxi Mono -->
            <string>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</string>
        </edit>
    </match>

    <match target="font">
        <edit name="rgba" mode="assign">

        </edit>

        <edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign">
            <const>hintfull</const>
        </edit>
    </match>

    <!-- Disable autohint for bold fonts, otherwise they look *too* bold -->
    <match target="font">
           <test name="weight" compare="more">
            <const>medium</const>
        </test>
           <edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
            <bool>false</bool>
        </edit>
    </match>

    <!-- Reject bitmap fonts in favour of Truetype, Postscript, etc. -->
    <selectfont>
        <rejectfont>
            <pattern>
                <patelt name="scalable">

                </patelt>
            </pattern>
        </rejectfont>
    </selectfont>

</fontconfig>

I have solved that. I have installed gtk-chtheme package and I have changed the theme.
