GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 517385
vte fontconfig behavior not matching gtk+?
Last modified: 2008-11-29 07:10:15 UTC
From downstream: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430627 Seems like vte differs in behavior from gtk+ still.
I saw a report on this that claimed it to be fixed. However, the same problem exists in the latest Ubuntu release. The problem is that the hinting settings are ignored.
I read that Ubuntu does crazy stuff, forcing antialiasing off on vte. Not going to trust any reports about Ubuntu's default behavior.
If you read that, then it's wrong. Gnome-terminal follows its own settings from its settings window. You can change it there. The problem is that, when it's set to antialias, the global hinting settings are ignored. (That could be the case without aa as well, but I didn't test that.) > Not going to trust any reports about Ubuntu's default behavior. That is true, they mess up even the simplest things when it comes to configuration files and such. I'll test this on Zenwalk and post the results here.
gnome-terminal-2.22.2 has removed the aa-setting and now follows the GTK setting. The current behaviour is correct with gnome-terminal-2.22.2 and vte-0.16.14 running on Zenwalk. If the redhat report does not use this version, but an older one, I think this is fixed.
Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 561366 ***
