Again.Chinese Font display in list box

Swift&Smart · 05-11-2007, 09:10 PM

Hi,everyone.It's me,again..

I have some problems of displaying chinese fonts in list box.

I did successfully switch my OS entirely to Linux except some printing task.One of the problem I am facing is that the chinese font displayed in list box is ugly and awful!

Except the font is ugly in list box,everything is fine.

Do you guys have any experience of that?Please drop me a line if you have any solution.Thanks.

What list box do you mean? any screenshot please?

kite,thanks for your reply.

The list box which you can see in a website.Kinda like a drop down menu,maybe in fact it is..

The chinese font in the menu looks awful.I'm sorry to tell you I couldn't give you a screenshot because I have tried many methods to capture fullscreen with the selection of drop down menu,but failed.

Grateful for your help.

I do not have the problem here. I am not sure whether it is a font configuration problem. But here I use a customized /etc/fonts/local.conf as following for better Chinese font display (antialising for chinese fonts are off and I use Simsun font):

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
<fontconfig>

 <match target="font">
                <edit name="autohint">
                        <bool>true</bool>
                </edit>
                <edit name="hintstyle">

use gimp to capture the screenshot, set the delay in second before capturing.

kite,I did that before.But it didn't work.

Yeah,i will also try your conf file to see whether it will work.
