- Added switch to enable/disable antialiased fonts in WPrefs's Expert Settings
panel. (Temporary until the Font Settings panel in WPrefs is finished). - Added a check that only %d is used in a font specification in WMGLOBAL and at most once for each font in a fontset (eliminates a possible security exploit) - Added README.antialiasing describing the steps needed to get antialiased fonts working with WINGs/Window Maker. - Added Sample.XftConfig

Antialiased font support
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
With the addition of support for antialiased fonts in the WINGs library, now
|
||||
Window Maker can also support antialiased fonts. However enabling them may
|
||||
prove not to be a trivial task to do. This is because enabling antialiased
|
||||
fonts doesn't depend solely on Window Maker and its configuration files. It
|
||||
also depends on the X server, the X server extension modules and their
|
||||
specific configuration files.
|
||||
|
||||
For a description of all the steps required to get antialiased fonts on
|
||||
screen please check the README.antialiasing file which describes all the
|
||||
things you need to do on a step by step basis. In addition it has extra
|
||||
useful hints and idea to make your antialiased fonts look nice in different
|
||||
contexts.
|
||||
|
||||
After you have done all the steps described there, you can enable antialiased
|
||||
fonts either by adding AntialiasedText = Yes; in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker
|
||||
or by launching WPrefs and checking the "Smooth font edges" in the Expert User
|
||||
Preferences panel.
|
||||
|
||||
As a general note you should always use a True Type font for your fonts if
|
||||
antialiasing is enabled, or alias a normal font to a True Type in the Xft
|
||||
configuration (read the details in README.antialiasing). Else you may get
|
||||
unepleasant results in the look of your screen :P
