Ubuntu Hardy, Qt4.3 and anti-anti-aliased fonts

December 19th, 2007 rassie Leave a comment Go to comments

Just for the record: ugly fonts in all of Qt4-applications in the current Ubuntu development release Hardy Heron result from a bug in Qt and this bug is triggered by the ttf-arphic-uming package. Remove it and you are ready to go again. Otherwise, you’d have to re-enable anti-aliasing for these fonts somewhere in /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-ttf-arphic-uming.conf.

    Ooh ooh thank you! Just changed the value between the tags to true and it worked like a charm… only thing is that the default font now seems to be an ugly Arial-ish one, but that’s a snap to fix with qtconfig.

    Thanks! Works like a charm! Better go change the conf file though.
