I would like to express my support for setting hintslight by default. I also find font rendering on Ubuntu superior in comparison to the present defaults. After switching to Arch, I was dissatisfied with the font rendering here. I found out that copying Ubuntu's 10-hinting-slight.conf file fixes the problem. As you may know, Arch package maintainers are reluctant to include custom patches in their packages. So upstreaming these changes is the only way to make it default in Arch and other distributions which do not patch fontconfig with their custom settings. Ubuntu also includes 10-antialias.conf and 10-hinting.conf settings by default. However, I didn't notice any difference with and without these files (at least in Qt4 apps). Therefore, I think that before including these config files, first it should be checked if these settings aren't already default. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
