Subpixel rendering packages for ubuntu (cline)

default ubuntu font rendering is poor, how correct this ?


open up terminal

$ sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list

enter these end of file


deb http://www.elisanet.fi/mlind/ubuntu edgy fonts
deb-src http://www.elisanet.fi/mlind/ubuntu edgy fonts

close editor > ctrl+x > save ? > yes

$ sudo apt-get update #updating repos

$ gpg --recv-keys 937215FF #adding package security identifier
$ gpg --export --armor 937215FF | sudo apt-key add -

$ sudo apt-get upgrade #installing alternative font rendering packages


$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config

Be sure to set subpixel rendering to “always” on the second screen (and bitmap fonts to “No”). The amount of hinting applied can be adjusted in the Gnome Font Settings dialog






whooow !
