Package: xfs
Version: 4.0.3-3
Severity: wishlist
In order to make antialiased fonts more enjoyable, I'd like
to propose that the following lines be added to /etc/X11/Xftconfig
in debian unstable.
match
any size > 8
any size < 15
edit
antialias = false;
Which will prevent fonts that are too big or too small from being
antialised and hurting the users eyes. ;-)

"Do not take the lecture too seriously . . . just relax and enjoy it.
I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will simply
admit that maybe she does behave like this, you will find her a
delightful, entrancing thing. Do not keep saying to yourself "But how
can it be like that?" because you will get . . . into a blind alley
from which nobody has yet escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like
that." -- Richard Feynman

# Reassigning the following to libxft2 in case it still occurs:
reassign 136527 libxft2
thanks
I'm closing the following bugs which are obsolete because libXft1 is no
longer shipped, and libXft2 no longer uses /etc/X11/Xft:
#163634: libxft1: SEGV when encountering surprising spaces in
/etc/X11/XftConfig
#97506: libxft1: want antialiasing excluded from fonts where 8 < size <
15 by default in /etc/X11/XftConfig
#88054: libxft1: want a mechanism for packages to update directories
listed in /etc/X11/XftConfig
#171787: libxft1: please automatically register TrueType fonts in
/etc/X11/XftConfig
#207976: libxft1: support modular configuration of /etc/X11/XftConfig
through include directives
I'm also closing this bug because the test case for it is no longer
compilable even in Sarge:
#101055: libxft1: SEGV when calling XAddExtension() from
_XftDisplayInfoGet()
