10 Template: fontconfig/subpixel_rendering
11 Type: select
12 _Choices: Automatic, Always, Never
13 Default: Automatic
14 _Description: Enable subpixel rendering of text?
15 Rendering text at a subpixel level generally makes it look a bit better
16 on flat (LCD) screens, but can show color artifacts on CRT screens. The
17 "Automatic" choice will enable it only if a LCD screen is detected.

19 Template: fontconfig/enable_bitmaps
20 Type: boolean
21 Default: false
22 _Description: Enable bitmapped fonts by default?
23 By default, only outline fonts are used by applications which support
24 fontconfig. Outline fonts are fonts which scale well to various sizes.
25 In contrast, bitmapped fonts are often lower quality. Enabling this option
26 will affect the systemwide default; this and many other fontconfig options
27 may be enabled or disabled on a per-user basis.
