Hello,
On KDE Plasma Wayland, running apps with GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 makes the fonts blocky and not antialiased (aliased?). This seems to be a known problem, and users of other distros have reported success by installing the GTK and/or the GNOME portal, but that doesn't seem to be the case in Slackware. I played around with the packages and found that:
- Screen sharing requires xdg-desktop-portal-kde to be installed.
- To make GTK apps use antialiased fonts one should install xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and uninstall xdg-desktop-portal-kde.
So I'm at a loss: is this a bug in the KDE portal, the GTK portal, or the upstream logic? It seems like with
xdg-desktop-portal-kde installed, GTK_USE_PORTAL would prefer the KDE portal, which then doesn't send some kind of antialiased parameter, but shouldn't it fall back to the GTK portal in this case? What should I do to make the fonts antialiased while all the portals stay installed? Thanks in advance.
