Hello. Thanks for bringing this up, as I'm experiencing the same problem. I've looked up the patch you linked, but I don't know where to put it exacly. I already have ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf and it's an XML file: none true hintmedium true So where would that additional line go? I don't know where my version comes from. Perhaps it was crafted from XFCE settings GUI? Is this all obsolete? Should I delete this and replace it with the given text? bye & Thanks av.
