I think this somewhat improved the situation. A nicer kind of AA is now present, and at least it's no longer blurry. But still no subpixel. This is what I had used in ~.Xresources: ! Xft settings --------------------------------------------------------------- Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.antialias: true Xft.rgba: rgb Xft.hinting: true Xft.hintstyle: hintslight On Sun, May 24, 2015 at 2:32 PM, Troy Engel <troyengel+arch@gmail.com> wrote:

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 have had this problem with Chrome before with xfce4, and had to specifically configure ~/.Xresources for it to respect the same font antialiasing that was normally done in the other places (fonts.conf, gtkrc-2.0, etc.)

Try setting those up and see if it helps -- don't forget to run 'xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources' to actually activate the changes, then restart Chromium.
