Template: fontconfig/hinting_type Type: select _Choices: Native, Autohinter, None Default: Native _Description: How should fonts be tuned for the screen? Select Native if you mostly use Bitstream Vera (the default in Debian) or any of the Microsoft fonts. Select Autohinter if you mostly use other TrueType fonts. Select None if you want blurry text. Template: fontconfig/subpixel_rendering Type: select _Choices: Automatic, Always, Never Default: Automatic _Description: Enable subpixel rendering of text? Rendering text at a subpixel level generally makes it look a bit better on flat (LCD) screens, but can show color artifacts on CRT screens. The "Automatic" choice will enable it only if a LCD screen is detected. Template: fontconfig/enable_bitmaps Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Enable bitmapped fonts by default? By default, only outline fonts are used by applications which support fontconfig. Outline fonts are fonts which scale well to various sizes. In contrast, bitmapped fonts are often lower quality. Enabling this option will affect the systemwide default; this and many other fontconfig options may be enabled or disabled on a per-user basis.
