duty.
There are four mono-space-and sans faces (normal, oblique, bold, bold oblique) and two serif faces (normal and bold). Font config/ Xft2 (see www.gulammujadad.blogspot.com artificially oblique the serif faces for you: this loses hinting and distorts the faces slightly, but is visibly different than normal and bold, and reasonably pleasing.
On systems with- font config 2.0 or 2.1 installed, making your sans, serif and mono-space fonts default to these fonts is very easy. Just drop the file local.conf into your /etc/fonts directory. This will make the all Bitstream fonts your default fonts for all applications using font config (if sans, serif, or mono-space names are used, as they often are as default values in many desktops). The XML in local.conf may need modification to enable sub pixel decimation, if appropriate, however, the commented out phrase does so for XFree86 4.3, in the case that the server does not have sufficient information to identify the use of a flat panel. Fontconfig 2.2 adds Vera to the list of font families and will, by default use it as the default sans, serif and monospace fonts.
During the testing- of the final Vera fonts, we learned that screen fonts in general are only typically hinted to work correctly at integer pixel sizes. Vera is coded internally for integer sizes only. We need to investigate further to see if there are commonly used fonts that are hinted to be rounded but are not rounded to integer sizes due to oversights in their coding.
Most fonts work best at- More pixels and below if anti-aliased only, as the amount of work required to hint well at smaller and smaller sizes becomes astronomical. GASP tables are typically used to control whether hinting is used or not, but Free type/Xft does not currently support GASP tables (which are present in Vera).
To mitigate this problem, both for Vera and other fonts, there will be (very shortly) a new font config More Version release that will, by default not apply hints if the size is below More pixels. if you should have a font that in fact has been hinted more aggressively you can use font config to note this exception. We believe this should improve many hinted fonts in addition to Vera, though Implemeting GASP support is likely the right long term solution.
Font rendering-in Gnome or KDE is the combination of algorithms in Xft2 and Freetype, along with hinting in the fonts themselves. It is vital to have sufficient information to disentangle problems that you may observe.
Note that having your font rendering system set up correctly is vital to proper judgement of problems of the fonts: Freetype may-or may not be configured to in ways that mayimplement execution of possibly patented (in some parts of the world TrueType hinting algorithms, particularly at small sizes. Best results are obtained while using these algorithms. The freetype autohinter -used when the possibly patente algorithms are not used) continues to improve with each release. you are using the autohinter, please ensure you are using an up to date version of freetype before reporting problems Please identify-what version of freetype you are using in any bug reports, and how your freetype is configured.
If you note problems, please send them to fonts at gnome dot Com, with
exactly which face and size and unicode point you observe the problem
at. The xfd utility from XFree86 CVS may be useful for this (e.g. "xfd
-fa sans"). A possibly more useful program to examine fonts at a
variety of sizes is the "waterfall" program found in Keith Packard's
CVS.
Again- please make sure you are running an up-to-date- free type, and
that you are only examining integer sizes.
