Improved subpixel font rendering for Feisty--改进字体渲染  

LINK: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343670
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
[edit]
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
Alternative repository, for experimental builds only.
Code:
deb http://www.telemail.fi/mlind/ubuntu feisty experimental
deb-src http://www.telemail.fi/mlind/ubuntu feisty experimental

Notes
  • To install the packages
    Code:
    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 key
    Code:
    wget http://www.telemail.fi/mlind/ubuntu/937215FF.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
    (or alternatively)
    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
