The anti-aliased font appeared ugly to me, and I wanted that feature off.
SYS: Firefox 1.5.0.1, Redhat, KDE
I switched the anti-aliasing off for system fonts by Start->Control center->Appearance and Themes->Fonts.
That worked well for everything else but not firefox.
In about:config, I set font.antialias.min to 50, no luck. font.freetype2.enable was false(default).
Can anyone help me not have this anti-aliasing?
Completely disable font anti-aliasing in Linux

You could also force a specific unaliased font for everything (chrome) in ~/.gtkrc-2.0:
but you'd still need to override document fonts with unaliased fonts for content.
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

gtk-font-name = "Helvetica 9"
