#31580: MacPorts xfd renders fonts differently (and worse) from OSX xfd ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: david.osguthorpe@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: font render x11 | Port: xfd ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment(by suv-sf@…): Not sure if related at all - but what about enabling autohinting for fontconfig/freetype? AFAICT the default installation of fontconfig in MacPorts does not copy {{{ $PREFIX/etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf }}} into {{{ $PREFIX/etc/fonts/conf.d }}} nor enable autohinting elsewhere (I saw the same issue with GTK+ GUI fonts - which render rather poorly after MacPorts upgraded to freetype 2.4.x (compared to MacPorts' freetype 2.3.x) - until I created ~/.fonts.conf and enabled autohinting there (see below)). Enabling autohinting in ~/.fonts.conf: {{{ <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="font"> <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31580#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
