Fuzzy Fonts

eaparnell · 09-21-2004, 11:52 AM

I have a GeForce FX video card and SuSe 9.0. I believe I have installed the last drivers available. However, the rendered fonts are very fuzzy in all applications (e.g. shell window, OpenOffice, KDE desktop, FireFox, etc.).

Is there anything I can check or do I just have to live with it? Any help appreciated.

You probably need to activate anti-aliasing for your fonts. Where this is located depends on your distro.

Yes, I have already checked the anti-aliasing box in the KDE-->Control Center-->Fonts dialog.

It did not help.

Ok.

Check to see if /etc/fonts/local.conf exists. If it does exist, make sure the following code is commented out

Code:

  <!-- <match target="font">
    <edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
      <const>rgb</const>
    </edit>
  </match> -->

If it does not exist, then it's probably due to the different distros.
