Getting a bit closer to TCL, i start with finetuning. One of the points that bothers - me - post is the horrible font resolution in default setup. I installed fontconfig and migrated the nicely working local.conf i've on another laptop. It looks like this:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
<const>hintslight</const>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
<const>lcddefault</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="pattern">
<edit mode="assign" name="dpi">
<double>96</double>
</edit>
</match>
Generally this works fine, but i've still one ugly problem: The DDG site is shown with horribly pixled fonts. I can play around this by setting FF to *NOT* allow sites their own fonts. But since this is not the setting on other machines (where i not have this problem). I researched a little bit deeper, and seems to me, that there is a problem with Helvetica. When i set my default font (in FF) to Helvetica (with not allow fonts) the font resolution is the same as with the DDG font (which is Proxima).
Now, without being an expert, just guessing in the dark, i suspect, may be, Helvetica font in some way is used as systemwide similar font to those the system does not know. And eventually, there is a problem in the font handling - on the system - of Helvetica.
So, one possible solution would be to correct the handling of Helvetica. But how???
The other, might be, delete Helvetica completely and re-install it. But, in this case, from where? I do not see any Helvetica in the TCL repository? (But its there, on my system in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ and in /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ ...
May be someone here of you more knowledged users can help me out.
Thanks a lot in advance!
