Patched libraries are built against freetype 2.3.x (not currently in feisty) and include David Turner's subpixel rendering patches.
Code:
deb http://www.telemail.fi/mlind/ubuntu feisty fonts
deb-src http://www.telemail.fi/mlind/ubuntu feisty fonts
for amd64 binaries use RAOF's repository
Code:
deb http://raof.dyndns.org/falcon feisty experimental
deb-src http://raof.dyndns.org/falcon feisty experimental
Code:
deb http://www.telemail.fi/mlind/ubuntu feisty experimental
deb-src http://www.telemail.fi/mlind/ubuntu feisty experimental
Notes
- To install the packagesCode:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install libfreetype6 libcairo2 libxft2 - After the install, you may want reconfigure font settings. I'm currently using Feisty defaults (Native, Always, No bitmapped fonts) myself.Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig - If you get errors about missing gpg keyCode:
wget http://www.telemail.fi/mlind/ubuntu/937215FF.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Code:gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 937215FF
gpg --export --armor 937215FF | sudo apt-key add - - GPG key to RAOF's repository (amd64 packages)Code:
wget http://ubuntu.moshen.de/2F306651.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
- If you later decide to go back to Ubuntu packages, you must downgrade all three installed packages
- You'll probably need to restart X-server after installing the packages to see the changes apply
