For instance, if I run a Tk application, the problem is not apparent within the application, presumably because Tk doesn't know how to do any font antialiasing, much less subpixel antialiasing. What I don't understand is why everything works fine for a while (a day or two) after a system reboot, and then invariably, the subpixel font antialiasing starts misbehaving again. > Run the font properties dialog and try the various different options. Okay, I can fix things by running gnome-font-properites as root. (It has to be as root or gnome-font-properites gladly accepts and remembers options, but doesn't actually have any sort of effect). In gnome-font-properites I have to set the subpixel order to "VRGB" (which is rather strange since the article you pointed me at says that there are no LCD displays with vertical sub-pixels, but perhaps times have changed) and the hinting to "Full". There's one last problem remaining. The effect of this is only temporary. If I log out and log back in, I have to re-run gnome-font-properites again. Is there a way of making the fix permanent? |>oug -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
