So, I've fresh installed Gentoo with Gnome. Ever since then I've had super blocky fonts like thisenter image description here

I'd appreciate any help on this, or really just a link to anything else because googling gets me no where.

EDIT My problem is with Firefox, Atom and anything seeming to use a web releated thing at this point. Image: http://screencloud.net/v/iZIj

  • Would you mind to post a full sized picture also? http://imgur.com/ could be used. – VL-80 Feb 03 '15 at 18:35
  • @Nikolay like the same one but on imgur? – Jared Allard Feb 03 '15 at 18:38
  • Your problem is in Chrome, right? (if so, you should mention it in the question). did you see this?http://superuser.com/questions/726132/chrome-33-shows-ugly-blocky-pixelated-fonts-in-linux?rq=1 – meatspace Feb 03 '15 at 18:39
  • @RainbowDashDC, yes. Because this picture is too small to see the problem. Also, as meatspace advices include more specifics - do you have problems with a specific program or system wide? – VL-80 Feb 03 '15 at 18:45
  • @Nikolay added image and application specifics – Jared Allard Feb 03 '15 at 18:49
  • @RainbowDashDC, thanks. Try installing [gnome-tweak-tool](http://packages.gentoo.org/package/gnome-extra/gnome-tweak-tool) and play with the fonts settings. – VL-80 Feb 03 '15 at 19:03
  • Didn't fix anything, tried changing fonts antialias etc. – Jared Allard Feb 03 '15 at 19:55
  • I see. Try to change default font in Firefox settings and see if it changes anything. – VL-80 Feb 03 '15 at 20:34
  • @nikolay Nothing :( – Jared Allard Feb 04 '15 at 21:31
  • Hmmm. I use Gentoo too (with XFCE) and never run into this problem. Try to follow instruction given [here](http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/fonts/). It is not about Firefox, but it might help. Try to install more fonts. – VL-80 Feb 05 '15 at 02:44

So, eventually figured this out:

eselect fontconfig enable 70-no-bitmaps.conf

or if already enabled:

eselect fontconfig disable 70-yes-bitmaps.conf
