I think you should add xorg-xrdb as dependency of freetype2-infinality-utilmate. Not everyone may have it installed.

You're right: it's infinality specific dependency, not needed by the stock package. Thank you for the tip, 2.4.12 will come with enhanced dependency array.

Here's 3 more small freetype patches from upstream git, to fix minor issues.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your message.

fonts might look different on KDE
Yeah. I don't use enough qt4 apps to care much, just vym and skype.
Some ./configure options to try with qt4:
-freetype -system-freetype -fontconfig -gtkstyle
But, I think it's a lost cause - I never hear of success stories of qt4 using freetype and fontconfig properly.

It seems so. Same Problem here.

This seems to occur occasionally. Generally back up within 30 mins, so try again later.

Most of all Advanced >> Desktop Effects and set scale method to Crisp has helped me get smoother fonts. Infinality would still look not as smooth as I want. But both freetype2 and freetype2-ubuntu works well. That's nice and working.

Ha ha. It's only Infinality that provides the INFINALITY_FT_FILTER_PARAMS tweakable. So tweak it!
Currently I'm liking:
export INFINALITY_FT_FILTER_PARAMS="13 20 32 20 13"

Today I received the following message from byethost.com:
Unfortunately due to a ddos attack we are not able to continue hosting your site / content.
No further explanation, no more information. This means that unless I find another free hosting, the only place to get the binaries from remains Dropbox.
Edit
I have temporarily set up a new account and as far as I can tell the repository is working again. The domain name remains the same, so you don't need to change anything in your pacman.conf.
Frankly speaking, I have no idea what to think about this. I monitor my accounts, check quota and bandwidth and this particular project was probably the least demanding. The number of connections must have been pretty high, though: I received several offers to go premium due to the 'popularity of the content', but for pretty trivial reasons I couldn't afford this… Anyway, I hope the new provider is going to be more reliable and the incident is nothing but a nuisance no one should be blame for.
I'm going to push updated packages to the repository soon. I'm also thinking of packaging a couple of nice fonts. Besides, the updated and revamped documentation will be available on the server as well.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

You may need to remove the infinality-bundle{-multilib}.db files manually from /var/lib/pacman/sync so that pacman can fetch them afresh.

The multilib repository is not working for me, the other one is:
error: infinality-bundle-multilib.db appears to be truncated: 17312/0 bytes
error: failed to update infinality-bundle-multilib (failed to retrieve some files)
Databases have been removed prior to running this, as you suggested.

Same here. I removed the sync databases but pacman still can't retrieve fresh ones:

I decided to sign the database file, too. This way when you add the repository or re-fetch the db file, this sort of message
error: failed retrieving file 'infinality-bundle-multilib.db.sig' from bohoomil.cu.cc : Maximum file size exceeded
won't be bothering you anymore. As a proof, you should find a new signature file in your /var/lib/pacman/sync.
And some fun stuff: I've added a new repository
[infinality-bundle-any]
Server = http://bohoomil.cu.cc/infinality-bundle-any
where I'm going to put nice font packages, not present in the official Arch repositories or the AUR. At the moment, you will find there only two excellent type faces, Merriweather and Merriweather Sans, both by Eben Sorkin. Maybe some of you will find them useful.
Thank you.

Wow, those first couple of fonts are really quite nice. Thanks!
Also, I was having trouble with the repo fix as well. But then I realized that not only does my computer run dnsmasq, which had a stale IP for your repo, but my router also runs dnsmasq (I use it for dhcp as well as DNS caching). So to anyone who is having trouble with the new repo and you use a dns caching service, restart it (though I am not sure what the implications would be for pdnsd, since it is persistent).

I'm still having trouble with this repos. Sometimes they work but most of the times they time out. I'll give it s try again tomorrow.

Thank you for mentioning this, WonderWoofy. I am not using any sort of DNS caching, so maybe that is why everything is working fine for me (I created several repos for testing purposes and pacman didn't have any problem using them). cecar, is it possible that WonderWoofy's remark may be your case, too?
