Hi!
I have this slight problem of fonts. The rendering of font in one account from another is somehow different (or is it just my eyes? ). Anyways, here's a screenshot of my terminal and firefox. Fonts are similar for both:
Account 1 (I was thinking how to apply this same setting to the other account):
Account 2 (has blurry fonts):
For the configurations, I don't think I have a ~/.fonts.conf on both users. For the terminal, I only have the settings that is found on http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xde … t_Settings. For the terminal, I think it's just my eyes Kindly let me know if you think the same way too.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

The terminal looks the same to me.
So did you create the .Xdefaults for both users? Also have you tried using ~/.fonts.conf instead?

Hi!

Haha! Knew it! Anyways, thanks! Just wanted to clarify.
For the .fonts.conf, I haven't tried it yet. Though I'm not sure how that would affect as I don't have a .fonts.conf on the user where I prefer the right rendering. Anyways, I'll try to set it up.
Thanks!

Those firefox pics show different rendering styles. Try this for starters:
xrdb -query

I did xrdb -query on both users. It displayed nothing though.

Check the font config in your window manager (xfce, kde, gnome, etc.).

Looks like the second firefox picture has subpixel antialiasing on, not the first.

Hi again,
Check the font config in your window manager (xfce, kde, gnome, etc.).
I have openbox. Not entirely sure where is it's font configurations. I checked rc.xml and ran obconf. I searched for the word "alias" but haven't found any. I also tried creating a new user and ran icewm on it though Firefox still looked the same.
Looks like the second firefox picture has subpixel antialiasing on, not the first.
I also tried the font configuration found here.
Thanks for the help.

Heya!
I wasn't able to determine the exact problem but currently I have this for firefox:
Seems fine now. No more blurry font. I just installed the "Original LCD packages" from the Font Configuration wiki. Oh and using Fluxbox now. So I'm not sure which fixed it. Fluxbox or the LCD font packages.
Thanks for the help!
