Firefox ignoring my fontconfig settings

Post by elFarto »

Hi

I've recently built the latest version of Firefox from of CVS, and it now seems to be ignoring my fontconfig settings, and all my fonts are antialiased. The previous version of Firefox followed my fontconfig settings.

In my /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file I have the following piece of code:

Code: Select all

<match target="font">
   <test name="size" compare="less_eq">
      <double>14</double>
   </test>
   <edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
      <bool>false</bool>
   </edit>
</match>


which disables antialiasing for fonts sized 14pt or less, as I have trouble reading them for long periods of time.

I've tried playing with all the settings in about:config, but with no luck. Please help me with this, it's driving me MAD!!!

Thanks & Regards

It's driving me MAD, too! Looks like the bug manifest from Mozilla 1.7 tree.

Well! I've located the 'ugly little problem' and it seems to be inside my head.

After setting the fonts as I wanted them, I had failed to click the "ALWAYS USE MY FONTS" box.


Duh......
