Problems adjusting text size in Arch Linux
Problems adjusting text size in Arch Linux
I've observed that the font scaling in my Arch setup isn't quite right compared to Debian. The Debian version looks great, but on Arch the text shows hints of green, blue, or red at the letter edges, making it hard to read. I checked the Arch wiki and enabled options like freetype2, but it didn’t improve the issue. I’m still unsure if these settings are actually helping. Both my KDE distros use Noto Sans with Hack as the fixed-width font, yet the problem persists. My brother says it looks fine on his Manjaro installation, so maybe something different is at play.
The KDE wiki page includes a part that suggests checking font options. You can also adjust settings directly by experimenting with different configurations. Here are some suggestions you can start with.
Thanks for the feedback. I explored several adjustments and found that disabling sub-pixel rendering improved the display significantly. Initially, I thought RGB would work well given the monitor's color profile, but changing it to none removed the purple and green tint. Now it looks much clearer, and other settings like hinting can be fine-tuned to suit my needs.
