Disabling Font Antialiasing on QT

TaruMM2 · 2021-07-06 20:06:50

How do I globally disable font antialiasing for all QT applications? I have Xft.antialias: 0 set in my .Xresources file, and it disables antialiasing on all text except for text on QT applications, it works properly for applications using other UI toolkits. I also tried disabling it with fontconfig, but it did not change anything for QT applications. I am using the gtk2 theme for qt through qt5ct.

As I said, I tried using a fontconfig as well but it didn't change QT.

Tried "how"?
Did you see the sub-link to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Font_c … ng_hinting ?

My local.conf file in /etc/fonts/local.conf is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "urn:fontconfig:fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

The "my DE ate my fontconfig" mentioned before aside, iirc Qt has it's own fontconfig implementation which might ignore local.conf - try to use eg. ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/99-yesalias.conf
