Ugly fonts in Opera
Hi there,
I like the Opera browser, so I installed the binary package of Opera and set up the linux emulation. But actually, there are still very ugly fonts in Opera. Is there any workaround to solve this problem? |
|
||||
Exacly which version of Opera?

I remember that Opera 9.x fonts looked flawlessly (after proper ~/.fonts.conf tweak), Opera 10.x has had TERRIBLE fonts rendering and now with Opera 11.x font rendering is OK again, here is my ~/.fonts.conf if You wish: http://strony.toya.net.pl/~vermaden/text/dot.fonts.conf

I have copied your file as ".fonts.conf" to my /home/<user>-directory and then run "fc-cache -v". But that didn't change anything. |

@nihonto
Try fc-cache -r -v mate.

I don't use Opera but, as far as I know, all browsers allow the user to change the fonts, thus, one way might be to install/copy your favorite fonts in $HOME/.fonts then run FC-CACHE(1).
PS: Before you try to change the fonts, you should install Opera's favorite/default fonts, I think (in your case) it's using the next best thing, a fail-safe font.

The issue is antialiasing, or the lack of it.. you can fix this using a .fonts.conf or by setting Xft.antialias: true in your .Xdefaults/.Xresources file.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="antialias"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> |
|
|||
Jepp, you're right!

Pffff, now I have tried the .Xdefaults solution BSDfan666 has proposed. But it doesn't work. I have even tried the solution proposed in this forum-thread I found on the web:

Try a different gtk2-engine and use gtk2-chtheme or gtk2-theme-switch to apply them.
PS: Xfce has its own tools for setting the themes.

I don't know if this helps but in my .fonts.conf file I have:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <dir>~/.fonts</dir> </fontconfig>

I also have 'that' in ~/.Xdefaults file:
Code:
Xft.antialias: true Xft.hinting: true Xft.hintstyle: 0 Xft.dpi: 75 Xft.rgba: rgb

By default, in NetBSD anti-aliasing works out-of-the-box without any tweaking. The problem might be related to this (Opera implementation problem). Have you tried this search?
