Am I the last person on the Earth to turn off font smoothing completely and use fonts perfectly hinted to the pixel grid? Can't get any sharper than that, and really helps with eye strain.

- nielssp 2y agoNo, at least that's what I'm going for as well, at least for monospace fonts in editors and such. I can't stand the slightly blurry look of antialiased fonts and absolutely prefer the crisp edges of traditional bitmap fonts.
- globular-toast 2y agoDo you have a working config for this on Linux?
- bad_username 2y agoThis is a regular control panel setting in Linux Mint (Cinnamon). Not sure about other distros.
- arexxbifs 2y agoTry this: $ cat $HOME/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf <match target="font"> <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"> <const>none</const> </edit> <test qual="any" name="size" compare="more"> <double>1</double> </test> <test qual="any" name="size" compare="less"> <double>22</double> </test> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> <edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"> <const>hintfull</const> </edit> </match>
- NoGravitas 2y agoI do this only for specific fonts at specific sizes.
