What about the "freetype autohint module"? What does it do, and is it inconsistent with sub-pixel rendering?Originally Posted by kidrich

Whoa! that's EXACTLY what I was looking for, thanks!!!! My fonts are beautiful now! I *added* that section to my .fonts.conf file, though, so mine now looks like this:
and everything renders beautifully. My eyes THANK YOU!!!!Code:<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <dir>~/.fonts</dir> <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 name="autohint" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig>
Take care,

So I used apt-get install msttcorefonts to download and install it, but the directory /etc/X11/fonts/TrueType was not created. I'm not sure why, but I cannot run the script and finish this process without fixing this problem. Anyone have any ideas why this might have happened?Originally Posted by Magneto
Edit: In fact, the directory called "Type1" is the sole directory in "fonts".

There really is a fairly clear difference, thanks for the awesome suggestion.
The right side is from screenshot before and the left side is after.
YMMV - I tried it on my laptop and found it made the fonts more blocky and ugly. It certainly makes a difference but end results will vary from display to display. FWIW, I also prefer the appearance of the LH screenshot above - the letter shapes aren't quite as nice but it's less blurry and easier to read on my screen.

Did you try creating the directory?Originally Posted by ConstableRoark
mkdir TrueType
Very nice guide, exactly what I was looking for. My fonts are as nice as they are in XP now.
Yeah, thanks for this. My lcd monitor no longer hates me
