Hi guys!
I've done a pacman -Syu this morning. The upgrade went fine, all the key components are working properly, except a slight issue I'm having with chromium. Chromium no longer obeys the subpixel antialiasing, but instead has a basic AA mode, without the subpixel hinting. This of course results in ugly letters across the board. What's even more weird, other applications seem to have it normally, like firefox, xfce4-terminal, etc...
I'm using xfce4. The settings > appearance had subpixel disabled, but once enabled chromium still didn't obey the subpixel hinting. I don't understand what has changed exactly with chromium, and how do I set it to have subpixel once again.
I went through here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration#Subpixel_rendering but I can't really find anything pertinent to my case. Any ideas anyone? :)
In addition to Xresources, I also use a fonts.conf. My current setup disables antialiasing and enables full hinting (which is probably not what you want, so you will have to modify accordingly). Install fonts.conf to ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf https://github.com/KlipperKyle/dotfiles/blob/master/fontconfig/fonts.conf --Kyle
