Hi
When installed my lovely distro openSUSE 11.4 , i was bad, because firefox 4 has bad font smoothing. I corrected this problem and post in my Subpixel repo.
Index of /repositories/home:/muzlocker:/firefox/openSUSE_11.4
Too i create repository with ubuntu subpixel patches :
Index of /repositories/home:/muzlocker/openSUSE_11.4
Index of /repositories/home:/muzlocker/openSUSE_11.3
Now , my font smoothing very good for me 
And this is awesome!
This wouldn’t happen to be using Microsofts patented subpixel colour filter, would it? (The one Ubuntu uses)
Hi Muzlocker,
This does not seem to work for me 
I am using above repos you have created… This has selected some weired sans-serif font. I am not sure how to change the default sans-serif font. Can you help me please?
Here are the snapshots of Yast and how sans-serif looks in firefox:

Hi!
Went to /home/[user_name]/.fonts.conf and configured it according my gtk settings.
These are my settings:
Code:
<fontconfig>
<match target=“font”>
<edit mode=“assign” name=“rgba”>
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target=“font”>
<edit mode=“assign” name=“hinting”>
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target=“font”>
<edit mode=“assign” name=“hintstyle”>
<const>hintslight</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target=“font”>
<edit mode=“assign” name=“antialias”>
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
P.S I not like oxygen qt theme.I using qtcurve and slight smoothing for my fonts
hey thanks muzlocker
I copied http://www.infinality.net/files/local.conf to my /etc/fonts and made few changes to it. This solved my problem. Thanks again
Screenshot with firefox and with dolphin please!

Mmmm strange , I’m loving the rendering out of the box and finding this “beta” a vast improvement on the old which was becoming almost unworkable for me. This baby flies!
Hi muzlocker - could you add the 32-Bit compat version for libfreetype6-2.4.4-87.1.x86_64.rpm to your repo?
Just like libcairo2-1.10.2-7.2.x86_64.rpm and libcairo2-32bit-1.10.2-7.2.x86_64.rpm
Thx!
Well, will soon be ready
Wow, that was fast!
Thx again!
Mike
Thank you muzlocker, this is really impressive.
Hi muzlocker,
Could you please include the “respect-fontconfig” patch to you cairo build ?
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11838
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=42713
Ok all is done
Patch respect-fontconfig not working
What do you mean by not working ?
how did you get your firefox like that? i’ve added your repo and said change system files to the ones in there but it hasn’t changed anything…? the 4.0 firefox just looks really dated. prefer the look you have there instead of the rather dull layout.
this is how mine looks, really old looking

please help me
thanks!
Patch #1 (cairo-respect-fontconfig.patch):
I have used this patch with your source package
Could you try the modified package
