10.1 Official fuzzy font problem

[kde-head]

If you have upgraded from 10.0 official to 10.1 , your fonts might appear to be fuzzy after the upgrade. In that case you need to edit /etc/fonts/local.cf

 

More details on this wiki page:

I've posted before and after screenshots on my blog here:

Here's what you need to have in /etc/fonts/local.conf - this turns on auto-hint and subpixel rendering.

 

<!--  Enable sub-pixel rendering -->

        <match target="font">

                <test qual="all" name="rgba">

                        <const>unknown</const>

                </test>

                <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>

        </match>

 

<match target="pattern">

  <edit name="autohint" mode="assign">

      <bool>true</bool>

  </edit>

</match>
