  4. <!-- This is a work in progress font config file from the CrunchBang Linux forums thread:
  5. http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/66205/
  7. with help from the Arch font wiki:
  8. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration
  10. and tailored to user configuable settings only.
  12. This file won't do a whole lot until you log out and back in, some stuff might use it right away others maybe not.
  14. This config isn't really meant for drop in replacement yet unless you're messing around, there may be errors and even if not it could make your fonts pretty wonky looking so I sure hope you backed up your original font config :-), to revert, just swap your original file back in and log out or restart X
  16. This is a personal config matched to Crunchbang Statler Alpa 1 (based on Debian Squeeze) with user installed Ubuntu style patched Cairo2 and Xft libraries on an LCD monitor @1280 x 1024, so YMMV. These settings hopefully keep the Ubuntu style shaping intact, but sharper than the out of the box Ubuntu look. Small fonts *should* look clear and normal text should be crisp without being scratchy or bright and with as few as possible raggety tails or smudges. That's the goal of this config anyway. Currently there is still a bit of ringing, more noticable on certain applications.
  18. If you have an existing .Xresources or .Xdefaults user file with font handling in it, it may interact with this file so check both.

  42. You'll need to match the pixel order of your display if enabled or you'll get a rainbow looking mess.
  43. Even when set right can still cause slight color smearing on some displays, so disabled by default.

  71. Seems to be most effective with subpixel rendering on, but can add additional color artifacts when combined. Filtering seems to cause a slight performance hit on my PC, so disabled on most fonts by default.
  73. Options: lcddefault, lcdlegacy, lcdlight, lcdnone
  75. Colar biases I've noticed on my monitor but may not apply to you, so play around with these until you find something you like:
  77. lcddefault- dark green
  78. lcdlegacy- red and blue separation
  79. lcdlight- not sure what it *is*, but it's sparkly!

  89. Hinting, hintstyle & autohinter - Lines characters up to the pixel grid but could use a better definition probably.
  91. Hintstyle seems to effect the thickness around the characters.
  93. Autohinter does some kind of font discovery to figure it all out, but looks more buttery and squishier than I care for so it's off for reading fonts. But if you like that kind of thing go for it!
  96. Hintstyle Options: none, slight, medium, full
