Once you disable anti-aliasing, you'll automatically get the embedded bitmaps. I also find that mixing aa and non-aa glyphs from the same font at different sizes is somewhat distracting (but, ymmv). Here's how I disable anti-aliasing on chinese fonts: <match target="font"> <test name="lang" target="pattern" compare="contains"> <string>zh</string> </test> <test name="lang" target="font" compare="contains"> <string>zh</string> </test> <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> This says that any font or pattern specified for chinese has hinting and antialiasing disabled. To hit a specific family, you can use: <!-- Disable anti-aliasing for simsun so that the embedded bitmaps can be used --> <match target="font"> <test name="family" compare="eq"> <string>simsun</string> </test> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> instead. You can add size tests inside the match element if you like to narrow the range to specific sizes. Keith Packard XFree86 Core Team HP Cambridge Research Lab

Re: syntax for disabling using embedded bitmaps for specific font size ranges

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I've gotten it to work for "MS UI Gothic" but I can't seem to make it match non-ascii font names. For example, "MS Gothic" also has a japanese font name and that is what shows up in the font dialog. When I run fc-list, it shows both "MS Gothic" and the Japanese version of the font name. I tried <match target="font"> <test name="family" compare="contains"> <string>Gothic</string> </test> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> to no avail. I also tried <match target="font"> <test name="family" compare="contains"> <string>ãããã</string> </test> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> where the "Goshikku" in japanese is in UTF-8, which failed too (though i'm running in a EUC-JP locale) Am I not matching correctly? or is there some other way to match the font?
