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: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const>none</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" > <const>hintmedium</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> 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.
