How to improve font rendering with your installed fonts
1. Create the file
sudo gedit /etc/fonts/local.conf
with code:
<match target="font"> <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintslight</const> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter"> <const>lcddefault</const> </edit> </match>
Save changes in the file.
2. Create backup a .Xresources file:
cp .Xresources Xresources.bak
If the .Xresources file has not been already created and you get the error -
"cp: cannot stat ‘.Xresources’: No such file or directory", then skip to step No. 3.
3. Open/Create .Xresources file in text editor.
gedit .Xresources
Delete current content(if any),and paste in it:
! Xft settings --------------------------------------------------------------- Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.antialias: true Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault Xft.rgba: rgb Xft.hinting: true Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Save changes in the file.
4.Run the following command in terminal:
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
5.Make sure that antialiasing, hiting is ON in system settings Your Desktop Environment.
Finally reboot your computer to apply the settings.
