| + | ====== Post-installation ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once started the X (Wayland) server the font configuration will be horible. Often the spacing between the characters will be totally messed up. Here are the instructions to set up the fonts properly ([[https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/5r5ep8/make_your_arch_fonts_beautiful_easily/|Original post]].) | ||
| + | |||
| + | First of all install the liberation fonts, it indirectly sets up the correct characters positions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | # pacman -S ttf-liberation | ||
| + | |||
| + | Secondly install a bit more fonts. | ||
| + | |||
| + | # pacman -S ttf-ibm-plex ttf-dejavu noto-fonts | ||
| + | |||
| + | Enable font presets: | ||
| + | |||
| + | # ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d | ||
| + | # ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d | ||
| + | # ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/11-lcdfilter-default.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d | ||
| + | |||
| + | In the ''/etc/profile.d/freetype2.sh'' file uncomment the ''FREETYPE_PROPERTIES'' line. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Finally create the ''/etc/fonts/local.conf'' file with the following content. The file tells the system what you mean with //serif//, //sans//, or //monospace//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <?xml version="1.0"?> | ||
| + | <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> | ||
| + | <fontconfig> | ||
| + | <match> | ||
| + | <edit mode="prepend" name="family"><string>Liberation Sans</string></edit> | ||
