Font rendering on Arch Linux

[jk779]

Hello, i have an issue with the font rendering in Sublime 2.
In the attached screenshot you can see how ubuntu mono 12 should look and how it looks in sublime. the letters are too "thin". i cannt really describe it, so please have a look at the attchment.
On Ubuntu the font gets rendered right.
i'm using gnome 3 (GNOME Shell 3.2.2.1) on Arch Linux and Sublime 2175-dev (The 2165 version also has this issue)

My Settings file reads:

Code: Select all

{
   "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai Bright.tmTheme",
   "font_face": "Ubuntu Mono",
   "font_size": 12
}


Can you help me?

i found a solution, just create or edit ~/.fonts.conf file that it reads:

~/.fonts.conf

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
   <edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
      <bool>true</bool>
   </edit>
</match>

<match target="font">
   <edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign">
         <const>hintslight</const>
    </edit>
</match>

</fontconfig>
