List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: emacs-devel-bounces+ged-emacs-devel=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Original-Sender: "Emacs-devel" Xref: news.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:210178 Archived-At: I'm on emacs 25.1.1 (emacs25-lucid on debian unstable) and noticed that while all font rendering settings seems to correctly come from fontconfig, the "rgba" setting (subpixel hinting) doesn't seem to have any effect. It defaults to disabled. The Xft.rgba X resource *does* have effect though. I noticed just yesterday, as I normally had subpixel hinting disabled everywhere (matching the default), and didn't have to set any X resources for Xft so far. I tested some other settings, and Xft.rgba seems to be the only exception. Can somebody confirm this without having to inspect the source?
