Hi.
Does anybody know, how to enable subpixelhinting for Firefox and
probably for Thunderbird also?
It works for all system by default, but it doesn’t work in Firefox.
Thanks.

What DE do you use? Because i was unable in my GNOME to enable subpixel
hinting. No working howto or packages are available and hinting is
working only in terminal…

cairo needs a patch to enable full subpixel hinting.
See freedesktop bug #10301.

I use KDE.

This is how-to for 10.3 and 11.0, not for 11.1.I need subpixel for
11.1.

It most likely is still apply-able to 11.1 besides the one click
installers, the alternative Zypper commandline that’s also explained
still works though.
Or you can get a one click installer off ’ webpin ’

That’s a nice try, but as i have said before, it is not working in GNOME
and it was also not working in version 11.0 no matter which repository
you will use.
Fonts are hinted only in terminal and rest is without a change.

Probably, you don’t understand what i want.
I want to enable subpixelhinting for Firefox in openSUSE 11.1. I don’t
need to install freetype2, because it’s installed by default and
subpixehinting works for me in KDE.
Have a look on the snapshot.

I’ve just find solution.
It’s needed to update cairo package from repo:
‘Index of /repositories/home:/Fisiu/openSUSE_11.1’
(http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Fisiu/openSUSE_11.1/)
Firefox and Gnome have enabled subpixel.rotfl!

Can you confirm, whether it works for you also?

I have a clean install (not an upgrade) of 11.1 x86_64, KDE 3.5. Using
native LCD resolution at 1600x1200. With original cairo
(1.8.0-5.1-x86_64)(64&32), was able to get a sharp desktop by adjusting
font sizes, selecting “full” in KDE fonts, but not enabling sub-pixel
hinting. At this stage FF3 CONTENT is nice size and fairly sharp, but
the menu, URL entry/display area, dialogue boxes, etc., were very small,
although perfectly formed. Yast is exactly the opposite: menu is
correctly sized, content is small (like firefox3 menu)
I added the above (Fisiu) repository, selected cairo (64&32) update in
Yast, and then rebooted. I confirm the Fisiu repository version is
installed: 1.8.0-19.1-x86_64.
Neither Firefox 3 nor Yast changed one bit. GTK fonts are set to “use
my kde fonts”, I’ve enabled and disabled sub-pixel hinting (with
reboots), nothing changes the unfavourable FF3 and Yast display
situation.
Surely there is a fix for this long outstanding problem!

Another thing. IIR, there was a thread somewhere that indicated a
replacement for Mozilla-xulrunner was needed to thoroughly effect the
sub-pixel functionality with FF3. Can’t find it now. But I’ll try
Googling and see what comes up.
Moreover, at this time FF3 is a slug compared to Firefox 2 on 10.3 and
11.0. FF2 on those versions is also lazer-sharp, with no strange
display behaviour from Yast, either. So I don’t know if I’ll ever move
to 11.1 if all this doesn’t get sorted out. From what I hear, Mozilla
has pretty well ignored Linux. Maybe Opera, or another distribution
will be my next move. Because I won’t ruin my eyes because OpenSuse and
Mozilla can’t get this straightened out.

Hi.
Take a look to this post: (read it all)
‘Firefox 3.0.1: Enable Using Subpixel Hunting! - openSUSE Forums’
(http://tinyurl.com/5odoco)
Good luck
Luis
EDIT. Works perfectly on OS 11.1 GNOME and KDE4… See Post Nr. 30 for
the repo.
