[SOLVED] Fonts in OpenBox not quite good

[kpkeerthi]

I've been using Fonts with LCD filters (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts#Fonts_with_LCD_filter_enabled) and having excellent results in GNOME.

But for some reason, Openbox doesn't seem to honor the filters - The fonts don't look as smooth and crisp as they are in GNOME. Running gnome-settings-daemon in Openbox renders the font just they way they are in GNOME. But I do not want to run the daemon in the background just for the sake of it.

Is there a way to get better rendered fonts in openbox without gnome-settings-daemon?

~/.fonts.conf

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</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>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>


That fixed it!
