ugly font rendering

[shackra]

I'm experiencing a ugly font rendering with Midori, however, I'm not quite sure if the issue comes from Midori itself or from other component that Midori use. I'm using fonts for Midori like Open Sans and SourceCode Pro, etc.

This looks like Midori using X11's built-in "Helvetica" font, which is what Fontconfig finds based on the web page's CSS.

Can you try merging the following into your fontconfig configuration (likely in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- Reject bitmap fonts -->
 <selectfont>
  <rejectfont>
   <pattern>
     <patelt name="scalable"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
   </pattern>
  </rejectfont>
 </selectfont>
</fontconfig>

Yup, was that. I have a more beautiful font rendering now! Thanks!

Same here on Midori-0.5.11 on OpenBSD.

Github alway looks bad, see screenshot.

The style info for the offending text is:
```
font: 13px / 1.4 Helvetica, arial, nimbussansl, liberationsans, freesans, clean, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol";
```

So I guess I am also using the bitmap fonts.

It would be nice if this could work out the box without hacking config files. Is it possible for midori to have a setting to block bitmap fonts (on by default)?

FWIW: checking "always use my font choices" in settings is a workaround.
