Ubuntu

My fonts are no longer anti-aliased

Asked by Michael James

I installed KDE 3.5 to try it out, & I downloaded a theme and tried to install it. I didn't like it, so I uninstalled KDE but when I switched back into GNOME my fonts are now ugly and not anti-aliased. I looked into my fonts tab in appearance and I have all the proper settings set (sub-pixel smoothing, full hinting, and RGB ordering [which is correct]) but they take no effect.

How do I fix this?

I found the answer with the help of google. All I had to do was re-make my ~/.fonts.conf file with:
<?xml version="1.0″ ?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

Hope this helps with anyone else with this problem.
