GNOME 2.1.x Development Series

Wednesday, January 29 2003 @ 04:35 PM EST

One of the great new features in GNOME 2.2 is desktop-wide support for fontconfig and Xft2, giving us enhanced font configuration and rendering on screen (and, in the future, on paper).

You can see the new Fonts control panel to the right, with simple and detailed configuration pages for hinting and subpixel anti-aliasing. Unhinted fonts are used in all of the screenshots on this page - looks great! Plus, you can simply drop new fonts into ~/.fonts, and they will work throughout GNOME. Thanks to Keith Packard for his work on fontconfig!
