Hi everyone,
with the cairo-update today, i updated my cairo-lcd package and after that my fonts in GTK-applications look pretty ugly, in qt-Apps they are still nice. After that I tried the -ubuntu packages which made it even worse, so I switched back to -lcd. Does anyone have a clue?

Assuming you followed the wiki (including removing your existing font config) the only thing I can offer is to check whether hinting is set at Slight. Anything else makes fonts ugly for me as well. Using -ubuntu here, which looks absolutely gorgeous.

You may give me the link to the wiki-page, because i did not remove anything except one symbolic link. i think i'm to stupid to find it by my own

Well, that makes two of us... I SWEAR it was there. Hehe.
Luckily, someone wrote the procedure down I was referring to: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 85#p309385
Edit: replace -lcd with -ubuntu, and append -ubuntu to fontconfig. That should do it.
