Well, specifically, what I had in my .fonts.conf was a default setting of BCI full hinting for all fonts. After that, I had configuration to use slight hinting for specific fonts. I found that Gnome (Cairo) apps would not respect this, for whatever reason, whereas KDE (Qt) would. Gnome apps would just do brute-force full-hinting of everything. This patch on cairo fixed the issue and things then rendered as they do in KDE. I actually was using MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 before starting firefox, and now I no longer have to with the patched cairo. Perhaps I have a unique configuration in my .fonts.conf that exposed this. All I know is that it works now. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
