So I don’t forget it again…

… gosh, I always forget what I do to my font configs on my machines.

KDE: Enable Antialiasing/Subpixel hinting RGB/Style Medium
Fontconfig system wide: Replace Helvetica with something readable in .fonts.conf
Link 10-autohint.conf and 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf

To be never forgotten again for my fonts to look gorgeous.





Font tweaks

Thanks to some helpful comment at osnews.com I tried changing my KDE fonts to the excellent Bitstream Vera Sans Fonts with medium Subpixel Hinting enabled and boy… Did that make a difference. Crispy, excellent looking fonts that you can actually read a mile away now. Makes me wonder why no distribution I ever tried has those settings as default.
