## Font horrors and subpixel aliasing nudges pls.

Fri Nov 25, 2016 9:42 am

This has been a really neat experience with a distro I thought of as new, even with the onramp bit via DistroWatch. It runs on the Pentium at hand! (P4; i486ish) On the other hand inxi lets me know I'm backported to 3.16, not 4.16 (for reasons, but it doesn't say which) and I kind of want to do Wayland adjustments for X, but then I have to admit it's probably a matter of old X config, and/or system fonts from Mac OS X or Microsoft, and/or just creating a dotfile homedir.fonts.conf
as per http://linuxforcynics.com/how-to/improv ... -in-debian
is that so? Is that completely off the rez. for Refracta's conceptualization and build?
Hm, Settings/Appearance seems to handle that. And it's xfce at work in concert with xfconf tools.
Good to know. Only I don't because I don't know what API that gtk+ thing is using...pleased with its immediacy!
http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-setting ... appearance doesn't expose the works...
Hm, it's -this- font that looks hideous still. When rendered once submitted it is smoothed nicely but the kerning is horrible.

Refracta uses Devuan repos, and 99% of the packages in Devuan are exactly the same packages in Debian. The other 1% consists of those that had their dependency on systemd removed and those that are specific to Devuan (like the keyring and desktop-base). So, anything you can do with fonts in Debian, you can do in Devuan and Refracta.
The kernel is not backported. It's the same 3.16 kernel that's in Debian Jessie. You can get 4.7.0-0 from jessie-backports. (Warning: snapshots made with this kernel aren't booting. I think it needs to be recompiled with support for aufs.)
Did I answer your question? I'm not sure what your question is.
