Font problem on forums

[machinebacon]

Thing is that libwebkit also depends on libpango, so even if we take our Roaster browser we are bitten. I am not sure what to do except ... changing the fonts on the forums.

Wux, can you change the CSS to use Monospace, Mono? Or is it activated already?

Webkit uses harfbuzz for font rendering (at least in Chrome/ium). Finally I know what this shit is for.

Edit: Gekko, you have LibreOffice installed don't you? Is font rendering OK there?

Edit 2: Installed surf and it looks good:

The only font-related config file I have is:

Code: Select all

user@grill:~$ cat /etc/fonts.conf.d/11-lcdfilter-default.conf 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!--  Use lcddefault as default for LCD filter -->
  <match target="pattern">
    <!--
      This configuration is available on the major desktop environments.
      We shouldn't overwrite it with "assign" unconditionally.
      Most clients may picks up the first value only. so using "append"
      may simply works to avoid it.
    -->
    <edit mode="append" name="lcdfilter">
      <const>lcddefault</const>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>

Code: Select all

font-family: 'Share Tech Mono', 'Monospace',  sans-serif;

loads in order of availability, I think. should bring in the browsers default, which, IDK, is maybe the problem?

I could add the CSS to actually call the share tech font (thats the one my wonderful website uses ) from google.
see if that brea... er i mean resolves the issue. ;)

Little update on pango: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=612464

Those who are affected by shitty fonts - does it happen on Intel gfx chips?

I know this issue from the past and thought it was solved. Because I have no garbled fonts, it is just the BBQ forums with the default theme.
But who knows as it seems not to be solved yet seeing it on the BTS and indeed it is Intel here.

Same here. Only this forum with the dark theme. No change anywhere else.
