Oh. I just saw the Openbox menu. I guess it's a Gnome/Openbox session?

How do you guys get your www fonts to render so smoothly? I installed the MS fonts pack, use anti-aliasing and sub pixel hinting and they still look horrible on a bunch of sites.

Thanks vermaden. I'll try adding those lines to my fonts/local.conf file when I go home. One question, in xfce there is options to control anti-aliasing and sub pixel hinting via the desktop. Do you know how that interferes/overrides with the font configs you set yourself?
|
|
||||
They can break each other or one will override the other one propably.
For example on one of the boxes at work my buddy installed KDE4, which puts some strange ~/.fonts.conf into $HOME dir. Then when I started GNOME there the fonts settings havent been able to change anything until I remover/renamed the ~/.fonts.conf isntalled by KDE4, so expect something similar. I did not checked all possible ways, but IMHO ~/.fonts.conf has stronger position isn this settings race.

Fonts work fine for me, I never even knew about fonts.conf until KDE4 started messing with it and instantaneously uglify all my fonts.

I use bunch of patches I found on ubuntu forums to patch libXft, cairo and freetype2.
They make fonts prettier than any fonts.conf tweaks (actually my fonts.conf is empty now with gnome 2.24). But yeah, KDE is loser when it comes to fonts. KDE apps's fonts look ugly no matter what I do. Anyway, here's my current Gnome 2.24 screenshot: (1680x1050 / 1.3MB)

THis is the link I found from ubuntu forums:
http://quanli.googlepages.com/davidt...esfordebiansid Relevant parts of the page are the patch links at the beginning and gnome font settings at the end of the page.

Ty'd up
fvwm-2.5.something on my notebook. Mrxvt (with transparency) with the desktop showing through. The image in ImageMagick was captured with xine because import wouldn't take the picture correctly while xine was running. FvwmButtons artwork comes from the Ty official site. I took the boomerangs off with The Gimp, then made the mouseover images with text added via ImageMagick; the text shows what each mousebutton does, and the top image currently has the mouse over it. Oclock in one corner and FvwmPager embedded in FvwmButtons. Down the left side is xbattbar. Last edited by criglerj; 22nd December 2008 at 02:52 AM. |

Is the wallpapers yours or have you downloaded it from somewhere?
|
|
|||
I know where it's from, I was curious if you play
|
|
||||
no, i don't, it's to expensive for me (but i had cash, i would definitely play that game. I think it's awesome), and my system is FreeBSD only.
do you play? Perhaps you could send me some nice screenshots (i prefer blue bg, 1280x1024, without User Interface if possible): killasmurf86 at gmail dot com Last edited by graudeejs; 2nd January 2009 at 12:52 PM. |
