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

Kaan · 2014-08-27 16:45:02

The problem persists.

bohoomil · 2014-08-27 16:53:27

Is it still Nirmala UI or another font now?

Kaan · 2014-08-27 16:56:48

Still seems to be Nirmala, it seems to happen when the hdd is busy, not really sure. A race condition?

bohoomil · 2014-08-27 17:09:37

What is the output of `fc-match sans`? Are all entries in 35-repl-custom.conf commented out?

Kaan · 2014-08-27 17:30:09

arial.ttf: "Arial" "Normal", everything is commented out on that file. I only ever used fc-presets to set "ms", everything else is default. This is some strange problem.

I installed wxlauncher to see it in action. It actually uses two font families: one for the UI, and the other for the content. What is your UI font then? Please, take a look at you .gtkrc-2.0 again: if possible, get rid of lxappearance and set everything manually (just back up .gtkrc-2.0 created by lxappearance and edit the file). Make sure there is gtk-font-name set explicitly, e.g.

gtk-font-name="Source Sans Pro Regular 9"

Kaan · 2014-08-27 19:10:49

Ah, should have looked at that file carefully. Here is the one set by kde module,

# File created by KDE Gtk Config
# Configs for GTK2 programs 

include "/usr/share/themes/QtCurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
style "user-font" 
{
	font_name="Arial Narrow"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="Arial Narrow 9"
gtk-theme-name="QtCurve"
gtk-icon-theme-name="gnome"
gtk-fallback-icon-theme="default"
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH
gtk-menu-images=0
gtk-button-images=1

It is set to use narrow instead of regular, there isn't any visual difference between them but maybe this was the cause all along? Oh, and the same thing happens with Firefox too, it's not only exclusive to wxlauncher.

Edit: The font settings on gtkrc isn't respected, maybe only sometimes.

There is a visual difference between narrow and regular. Anyway, I think that finally we are there. Please, try changing Narrow to Normal and see if it helps.

Edit Gtk+ applications by default should respect .gtkrc-2.0. They may not do this if there is an additional gtkrc here:

include "/usr/share/themes/QtCurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

Would you mind checking its content?

Didn't see your edit, I did check that files contents and there are no font settings in it. Here, http://pastie.org/9510284

Also, it happened again... I just give up http://i.imgur.com/GdcHrd1.png

It most definitely only happens when the applications takes a second or two to start. My hdd is shitty, but almost never happens on consequent starts when it's in the ram. I have no idea what changed in the last couple months to cause this randomness. I've looked e everywhere I could think of. I'm going to remove oxygen-ttf and use win7-ttf package from aur which has far less fonts and go from there.

hi
is there a chance that cairo-infinality-ultimate could be rebuilt to include a patch to fix issues with html5 video on webkit based browser (like dwb)?
mentioned before here

bohoomil · 2014-09-06 18:15:31

@danij3l Of course: there will be a big update ready to pull soon so I will add the updated cairo libs.

0xACE · 2014-09-10 09:59:16

I'm trying to update the system. Any suggestions on what I should do ?

I've tried:

# pacman -Rs ttf-heuristica-ib
error: target not found: ttf-heuristica-ib

Looking at the wiki. it seems like you recommend that I answer Yes when I'm asked to remove a conflicted package. But what if I prefer the otf over the ttf?

Di you change anything with the way ms fonts render? Specifically verdana, it look different than it it. Kinda like vanilla freetype2.

bohoomil · 2014-09-10 19:46:26

@Kaan Please, check out the release info.

Xinkai · 2014-09-11 11:55:42

Just want to be here and thank you for the great work. The recent update made very noticeable improvement, especially for Chinese texts.

joaocandre · 2014-09-11 13:14:54

Having the same issue as 0xACE wether I choose to remove or not the conflicted package

joaocandre · 2014-09-11 13:25:49

I'm also encountering another issue while updating:

warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: harfbuzz will be installed before its freetype2-infinality-ultimate dependency
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: lib32-harfbuzz will be installed before its lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate dependency

Not sure if it's relevant or if there is already another post about it (couldn't find it though)

bohoomil · 2014-09-11 13:44:27

@joaocandre If you are using ibfonts metapackages, try removing them first, then manually install Heuristica TTF, and finally install meta packages back.

The other thing is just a warning you can ignore.

@Xinkai Thank you very much!

Hey,

I currently get an error syncing the repository. They key is signed be me locally and worked until a few days ago:

Fehler: infinality-bundle: signature from "bohoomil (dev key) <bohoomil@zoho.com>" is invalid
Fehler: infinality-bundle-multilib: signature from "bohoomil (dev key) <bohoomil@zoho.com>" is invalid

EDIT: It seems to work now, after I purged and re-did everything. The key was correctly signed and after some trying only one of both was treated as incorrectly signed.. Maybe some weird pacman bug or powerpill/pacman incompatibility..

reed1 · 2014-09-13 10:21:52

Whoa thanks for the update. I now see Arial as Arial. I don't know Arial could look this good, I think the previous version aliased Arial to other font, (is it?)

In the most recent update, the bold typefaces in my preferred browser of choice (luakit) are super-bold, to the point of being nearly unreadable. This doesn't seem to happen in any other application, and using screenshots and the GIMP, I can't emulate the effect either (as an attempt to figure out what's happening). The default sans-serif font is Noto Sans.

I'm using the [combi] preset, though I've deleted the symlink to 37-repl-global-combi.conf as I do not wish to use any font replacements except where they might be useful (i.e. Bitstream Vera Sans → DejaVu Sans is ok, but Helvetica → Arial is not).

bohoomil · 2014-09-13 15:39:43

@zoqaeski Fixed.

I've deleted the symlink to 37-repl-global-combi.conf

Don't do this: you should customize this file, not delete it. Just comment out or remove entries you don't need instead and leave the link where it belongs. ;-)

@reed1 Thanks a lot: I'm really happy that someone has noticed this particular change. :-) (No, Arial wasn't aliased to another font: it was all about unhealthy settings...)

zainin · 2014-09-14 09:33:48

I'm having a bit of a problem with infinality and stylized subtitles in videos. I've installed bundle packages from infinality repos.

The exact problem I'm having is, mplayer, mpv and vlc all segfault on certain parts of the video when a certain stylized font appears. Everything works fine when I uninstall infinality and go back to vanilla fontconfig.
So for now the only way for me to watch some of my files is to not use the bundle or disable stylized subtitles. Any ideas how to fix this?

bohoomil · 2014-09-14 19:01:18

@zainin Not really… Could you please provide more info, i.e. which font you are using, which subtitles formats are affected, probably some debug messages? I'm using mpv myself and play films with subtitles (sub and srt formats) and haven't experienced any crashes.

Right now I'm testing an Infinality patch which should fix the issue with urxvtd crashes. I don't know if the two problems may have anything in common, but when the new freetype2-iu packages are available tonight, please test them with your video players.
