The Linux Systems have an option for smoothing fonts, that is not activated by default. In this short article I will share with you the code lines that need to be pasted in order to make your fonts smooth.
So, paste this in your ~/.fonts.conf file:
<?xml version=”1.0″ ?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM “fonts.dtd”>
<fontconfig>
<match target=”font”>
<edit name=”autohint” mode=”assign”>
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
You will notice the changes after you log back in.
