acan/freetype-subpixel

Description

Freetype with subpixel rendering and modified lcdfilter.

Installation Instructions

Once you install this, TrueType fonts should look better. (Depending on hardware and personal preferences of course.)

Run:

     dnf copr enable gqman69/freetype-subpixel
     dnf update

Use fontconfig-infinality which gives good settings (optional)

     dnf install fontconfig-infinality

or

save the following configuration to $HOME/.fonts.conf

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
