Subject: bug#25147: 25.1; rgba font rendering not honoring fontconfig
Date: Fri, 09 Dec 2016 16:56:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8760mtqeob.fsf@wavexx.thregr.org> (raw)
On emacs 25.1.1 and emacs 24.5.1 (lucid, from debian unstable) all font
rendering settings (hinting/antialias/autohint/etc) seems to correctly
come from fontconfig, with the exception of the "rgba" setting (subpixel
hinting), which just defaults to disabled.
The Xft.rgba X resource *does* have effect though.
Emacs should honor the fontconfig's rgba setting correctly, with
priority over Xft.* resources, as done for the other settings.
To test, remove any X resource (xrdb -remove), and install the following
fontconfig snippet somewhere in ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Run emacs, and notice how subpixel hinting is not enabled.
Run with FC_DEBUG=5 set in the env for confirmation that the rgba=rgb is
in effect.
Then run emacs -xrm 'Xft.rgba:rgb' and notice the difference (color
fringing should be visible).
