[gentoo-user] Turning OFF font-hinting globally?

[gentoo-user] Turning OFF font-hinting globally?

[Chris Boot]

Hi all,

Call me a heretic, but I want to turn OFF font hinting globally in X, 
most particularly I'd like it off in GDM. I've turned it off in my own 
Gnome prefs, but tht obviously doesn't touch GDM.

As an added bonus, can I change the fonts GDM uses?

Thanks,
Chris

Take a look at this file:
/etc/fonts/local.conf

You can turn on / off the font hinting / whatever from there.
There are a few nice font tutorials over at
gentoo-wiki.com<http://gentoo-wiki.com>if you're intrested.

I can't help you with the GDM-part, tho :(

Ah thanks, I looked there but seemed to completely miss the font-related 
HOWTOs.

Lovely stuff!
