Handbook chapter "6.5.3. Anti-Aliased Fonts" have this indication: "Certain fonts, such as Helvetica, may have a problem when anti-aliased. Usually this manifests itself as a font that seems cut in half vertically. At worst, it may cause applications to crash. To avoid this, consider adding the following to local.conf: <match target="pattern" name="family"> <test qual="any" name="family"> <string>Helvetica</string> </test> <edit name="family" mode="assign"> <string>sans-serif</string> </edit> </match> " Then I've create this local.conf file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="pattern" name="family"> <test qual="any" name="family"> <string>Helvetica</string> </test> <edit name="family" mode="assign"> <string>sans-serif</string> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> But now I've got lot's of warning when I start xorg softwares: Fontconfig error: "local.conf", line 11: invalid attribute 'name' Fix: Just replace this line: <match target="pattern" name="family"> by this one: <match target="pattern"> fix the warning messsage. I beleive all "match target" line of this chapter should be updated too.
