Re: poor font rendering in white-over-black (eg Mutt)



My /etc/fonts/local.conf

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <include
ignore_missing="yes">/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/fonts.conf</include>
  <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
<!-- Subpixel rendering, makes sense only for LCD screens -->
  <match target="font">
    <test qual="all" name="rgba"><const>unknown</const></test>
    <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
  </match>
<!-- The following should work for any screen -->
  <match target="font">
    <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
    <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
  </match>
  <match target="font">
    <test name="pixelsize" compare="less_eq"><double>12</double></test>
    <test name="foundry"
compare="not_eq"><string>Bitstream</string></test>
    <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>
