#Font rendering fix for Arch
Some apps in Arch have difficulties in rendering fonts. This Gist might help you to fix this issue. This is a combination of information I have found so far on the interwebs. Most importantly from here: http://kaslnetwork.com/articles/making-ugly-fonts-pretty-in-arch-linux/
I have then applied the comment on where to put the file and also fixed the double quotes to single quotes which caused an error on my system.
Do the following with 29-prettify.conf:
sudo mv 29-prettify.conf /etc/fonts/conf.avail/29-prettify.conf
This will move the file to its destination - you need root permissions for that.
Then link it as well so it's picked up:
sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/29-prettify.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/29-prettify.conf
Now you need to restart X (Gnome or whatever you're using). You can usually do it by saving your documents and logging out from your session or by pressing ctrl
+alt
+del
. But beware, this will close all open apps. Make sure you've saved everything.
