[SOLVED] Ugly fonts (aliased) in Openbox

Hi,
I'm trying to configure Arch with Openbox
Some things works fines, but other not like fonts display.

Look the screen: it's ugly :S

I would like to activate the anti aliasing but I found nothing in Lxappearance or Obconf...
I've done this with a Gnome option when I used it on Arch, what I want is not the wiki page "Beautiful fonts for your LCD Screen" wink

In advance, thanks wink

Create a ~/.fonts.conf with the following content:

  <match target="pattern">
               <edit name="hinting">
                       <bool>true</bool>
               </edit>
               <edit name="hintstyle">
                       <const>hintfull</const>
               </edit>
               <edit name="antialias">
                       <bool>true</bool>
               </edit>
       </match>

Regards

Tried it, but the fonts are still the same even after rebooting or changing font in lxappearance :s

Any other advice ?

Re: [SOLVED] Ugly fonts (aliased) in Openbox

Try creating a ".Xdefaults" file in your home directory with the following content:

Xft.dpi:        96
Xft.antialias:  true
Xft.rgba:       rgb
Xft.hinting:    true
Xft.hintstyle:  hintslight

Only one character of text in the screenshot was displayed by Openbox.  The rest of the text was displayed by GTk, which used an ugly bitmap font because no TrueType fonts were installed on the system.  Install ttf-dejavu.
