Hi all,
I have recently installed FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE. I wanted to install GNOME2, but found that it is deleted from the ports. So, I had to install GNOME3. The installation went on fine.
Like most of users, I stick to a font of my choice, and the font resolutions (like DPI, anti-aliasing etc). Here are my preferences:
a. Font name: Luxi Mono Regular
b. Font size : 13
c. DPI : 105
d. anti-aliasing: full
I tried to set these in a gnome-terminal. I was able to set only the font and the size in the "preferences" of gnome-terminal. I was unable to set the DPI.
My issues are the following, and I seek your kind help in this regard:
1. When I set the font to size greater than 10, the font starts showing as sort-of "bold", which is undesirable.
2. I tried to use gconf-editor and dconf-editor to set the DPI settings, but could not find the 'font_rendering' option under 'desktop/gnome'
3. I also tried to use gnome-tweak-tool, but there, the DPI is a 'scaling factor', which I am not too sure what to set to achieve DPI of 105.
3. Also, I am interested to know if these settings are stored, and can be changed, from a text-file. (where are these configurations stored ??)
I did not see any of these issues while using GNOME2. I tried using 'MATE' which is known to be a clone of GNOME2, but faced similar issues with font-rendering. (Is there any other alternative to GNOME2 ??)
Could you please suggest me some tips to get the same look-and-feel in GNOME3/MATE as I used to get in GNOME2 for the above preferences of mine ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sreeram
