GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 480936
System font setting not used
Last modified: 2009-06-14 21:58:06 UTC
Please describe the problem: The font smoothing or hinting settings are not applied. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open gnome-terminal, and select "use the system fixed with font". 2. Do the same with gedit 3. Notice how the font rendering is very different in gedit and gnome-terminal. Gedit is right. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
I have similar problem with some bitmap embedded korean fonts. When using specific font that has embedded bitmap area, all gnome application like gedit, gvim, gnome main menu applet shows embedded bitmap correctly. But gnome-terminal shows just antialiased font as like ignoring embedded bitmap area. But another bitmap embedded font(Guseul in ubuntu ttf-alee package) works fine both other gtk apps and gnome-terminal. The specific fonts are gulim.ttc and batang.ttc came from Windows XP Korean edition. It's XP default fonts for Korean character. After Turn off antialias at ~/.fonts.conf explicitly, gnome-terminal shows embedded bitmap area correctly. Maybe ignoring embeddedbitmap property? I'll attatch 'GulimChe' fc-match -v output and screenshot that shows gedit, gvim, gnome-terminal with GulimChe.
Created attachment 98179 [details] screenshot shows gvim, gedit, gnome-terminal that using same fonts.
Created attachment 98180 [details] output of 'fc-match GulimChe -v'
Sorry, I forgot leave my spec. Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy $ gnome-terminal --version GNOME gnome-terminal 2.18.2 fontconfig 2.4.2-1.2ubuntu4
It seems to be that on Ubuntu, the settings in /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-{medium,full}.conf take priority over the ones in GNOME's settings panel, but only in gnome-terminal.
This is NOTGNOME. It's a fontconfig file that Ubuntu added for peace's sake among developers.
This should be fixed in vte 0.16.10. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 142640 ***
This is still a problem in vte 0.17.4 with gnome-terminal 2.24.1.
This is probably fixed in vte svn trunk / vte 0.19.x .
Please attach screenshots with vte 0.19.x.
I assume this is not an issue anymore. Please reopen if it still is!
