The Vera fonts have GASP entries requesting that hinting be disabled below 8ppem, but FreeType (or perhaps Xft) don't look in those tables, preferring to use the INSTCTRL instruction in the bytecode stream to disable hinting at small sizes. The Vera fonts don't (yet) have this instruction included in the 'prep' tables, so they're getting hinted at small sizes. I stuck hacks in the default fonts.conf file to turn off hinting at small sizes. I also added Vera to the list of fonts selected in the default generic aliases so that users would see them in the right places. > But if you mean here hard-coding Vera names in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf - than > can you please exmplain what is needed to add support for my fonts which > would be released soon? If you've got fonts that will be widely distributed with open source systems, then we can add them to the generic aliases. -keith
