Font rendering in X

Hello everybody,

Is there a tricky manner to render font under X and take it looks like Cooltype font in Windows platform ???


Configuration:

HP-Pavilion laptop
FreeBSD 7.1
X11R6 + Motif WM

Not really sure what you mean, but if you want Windows fonts then you should install ports/x11-fonts/webfonts.

If you have any other Windows fonts, X is completely capable of using them. Copy the .ttf files into ~/.fonts and run:

Code:
xset +fp=~/.fonts
fc-cache

Have a look at fonts-conf(5) and xset(1) for more information.
 
@setti

Save that config as ~/.fonts.conf and type fc-cache -r, then restart you favority application/or even whole desktop environment and chekc results.

Sorry nothing was happened ! :(
 
X fonts should be antialiased by default. The last time I installed X where it wasn't must have been almost a decade ago!

setti, have you got a screenshot showing what the problem is?
 
GTK1 based apps (your apps from screenshot) do not support font antialiasing, you will have to use GTK2 based apps for example.
