[Bug 23006] New: no way to disable font smoothing

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23006

Summary: no way to disable font smoothing
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc1
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Starting from 1.2-rc1 fonts smoothing enabled by default, but I wasn't able to
disable it even after setting the following:

[CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
FontSmoothing=0
FontSmoothingType=0

I was able to disable smoothing by commenting this in /etc/fonts/local.conf

<match target="font">
 <edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
  <const>rgb</const>
 </edit>
</match>

But starting from 1.2-rc2 even this trick doesn't allow to disable smoothing.

The Xft settings take precedence now, that's where you need to disable it.

anyway it looks like wine completely ignores Xft/fontconfig settings. For
example, even after disabling smoothing in /etc/fonts/local.conf wine still
uses smoothing.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>

<match target="font">
 <edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
  <bool>false</bool>
 </edit>
</match>

</fontconfig>

Xft overrides the fontconfig settings. What do you have in your Xft resources?

On ubuntu 10.04 I don't have ~/.Xresources at all and have only 
/etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common that looks pretty simple:

! load color-specific resources for clients that have them
#ifdef COLOR
*customization: -color
#endif

I've never worked with Xft resource configuration before, but
I don't think fontconfig settings overwritten. In any case I don't understand
why /etc/fonts/local.conf settings works fine for GNOME/KDE and any
application, but doesn't work for wine apps.

You do have Xft resources defined.

after deeper investigation I made conclusion that gnome-settings-daemon adds
some Xft resources on start and wine treat those settings as higher priority
(compared to fontconfig setttings). Here is what I found in gconf-editor, key
/desktop/gnome/font_rendering/antialiasing:

The type of antialiasing to use when rendering fonts. Possible values are:
"none" for no antialiasing, "grayscale" for standard grayscale antialiasing,
and "rgba" for subpixel antialiasing (LCD screens only).

There is no way to delete this option, no way to avoid setting Xft resources.
Thus all fontconfig settings simply ignored. IT'S NOT CORRECT BEHAVIOR.

Let me give you several examples where fontconfig settings has higher priority
on Xft resources:

* GNOME/KDE allows to disable antialiasing on fontconfig level even if it's
allowed globally.

* Mozilla apps (Firefox, Thunderbird) uses fontconfig's smoothing settings even
if smoothing disabled globally by Xft resources.

* Qt apps

I'm not familiar with KDE, but I assume there is some kind of
gnome-settings-daemon that initializes Xft resources on startup, because this
issue occurs not only under GNOME, but under KDE as well.

You might look at bug #23114 and bug #23097 - both are closely related to the
one reported by you. Root cause of this new behavior (which I consider to be
_regression_) is the fix for the bug #17148.
