infinality-bundle: good looking fonts made (even) easier

flipper T · 2013-07-10 20:04:52

try doing a "Syyu" update

bohoomil · 2013-07-10 20:06:53

Is this what you have in your /etc/pacman.conf:

[infinality-bundle-multilib]
Server = http://ibn.net63.net/infinality-bundle-multilib/$arch

? I presume $arch is missing.

Thanks for reporting. Just in case, I've re-signed the packages and re-created the repo.

rutgerr, in the future please prepend the command with LC_ALL=C e.g. 'LC_ALL=C yaourt -Syua', so we get output in English.

Edit: I guess you know about it https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1298747 ;P

can we see newer version based on freetype 2.5?

taylorchu · 2013-07-12 06:51:21

I saw the one in aur.
btw, why is this not in aur?

bohoomil · 2013-07-12 09:23:44

Why should it be? Source packages are available anyway for those who don't want to use pre-compiled binaries. I didn't find it necessary to multiplicate the same thing all around.

chapas · 2013-07-12 20:32:26

bohoomil: I'm trying to implement your settings on Ubuntu 13.04. I have installed binaries for freetype and fontconfig from this repository: https://launchpad.net/~no1wantdthisname/+archive/ppa

I also downloaded the master branch from https://github.com/bohoomil/fontconfig-ultimate , but I don't know where to put each config file. I understand your modifications to fontconfig read config files from a different directory, but it's not clear to me where all the .conf files go. I already copied infinality-settings.sh to where it should be, but it's not enough to make wikipedia.org look like your screenshots.

Thanks.

doggone · 2013-07-13 12:48:37

Is there a way to set my font size globally? Now I have set "monospace:pixelsize=12" in dwm's config.h, sxiv's config.h, Xresources, dwb's settings, etc, so if I'd want another font size I'd have to edit all these files.

Also, Lekton is really nice, but characters like [, {, }, ] are bugged when size=11 or 12, see pic:

Still getting the same error whenever i run pacman -Syu....

WonderWoofy · 2013-07-13 15:28:13

The sigs are working just fine for me. Maybe you should clear out the infinality-bundle stuff from /var/lib/pacman/sync and let them re-update themselves. Maybe what is on your machine was simply corrupted on its way in.

tumas · 2013-07-13 17:43:58

Strange.... Even after resetting all my pacman keys i am still getting this error-message

WonderWoofy · 2013-07-13 18:30:58

Resetting the pacman keys? What did you do exactly?

bohoomil · 2013-07-13 21:14:40

@doggone, Let's see:

Lekton 11 + termite

Lekton 12 + termite

What you have pointed out sometimes happens to certain fonts in particular apps. As far as I can tell, the reason is inflexible way of handling line heights by the application in combination with not always correct font scaling. A similar affect can be observed when you increase the height of a font in a word processor and drastically decrease the line height. I presume that in your case the combination of the font family and the application has revealed what I mentioned before, i.e. the 'rough edges' of the former. Hence the difference between our screenshots.

@tumas, try doing what flipperT advised. 'Resetting' the keychain won't help because you already have the correct ones. However, forcing pacman to re-fetch the entire content should be effective. Things like this may happen occasionally (for instance during package upgrade), but fortunately the hosting service is not the culprit.

doggone · 2013-07-13 23:18:24

This is happening in every single application. I have noticed that since the latest patch all fonts are higher, like they have more bottom padding. Here's a picture of what I mean:

That's my dwm panel. As you can see it's closer to the top than to the bottom of the bar. I think this is the same problem.

bohoomil · 2013-07-13 23:34:27

I'm not sure if and to what extent both things are related. As I said, the first one is most likely a scaling / line height issue: I observed it myself in the past and switching the font helped. I don't modify the original infinality code in any way that could produce unintended effects, so I can't really tell if the patch set is to blame. What I am thinking about right now, however, is libXft: I used to build it previously with all the font related stuff, but since one day I couldn't tell if it was a needed step in any way, I've been using a regular libxft since. You may want to try and rebuild libxft yourself and see if it helps. If it does, I will add libxft to the repository and make it available for others.

doggone · 2013-07-14 00:45:27

I installed Termite and that proved you right about the issue with Lekton, yay! (I'm not sure if I want to lose urxvt yet though). About the other issue, I built libXft, no change. I also downgraded back to my cached infinality-bundle, no change. Anyways, I don't really care since it's not related to the other thing.

Unia · 2013-07-20 17:05:10

Termite uses VTE, URxvt does not. AFAIK, VTE by default uses Pango whereas URxvt uses Xft. That's your difference, I guess. You can change the font height in DWM's bar by changing the XFT patch you applied to DWM, or you can just use the Pango patch instead.

lunarjar · 2013-07-20 20:26:06

bohoomil Which AUR package for windows font do you use/recommend?

bohoomil · 2013-07-20 21:29:58

ttf-ms-win8 (+ comment, if necessary). Copy all *.ttc fonts, not only Cambria, i.e. issue

cp tmp/Windows/Fonts/{*.ttf,*.ttc} fonts

Those often cover non-Latin languages, so getting rid of them may not be a wise step. You don't need to convert TTC files to separate TTFs, so you can comment out the fontforge line in the PKGBUILD.

Here's an interesting autofit patch in freetype git, to include
