In the last few years the Linux ecosystem has made a huge progress in term of quality of its desktop interface (or interfaceS since there are many alternatives) and it is almost at par with its commercial competitors. But it doesn't mean that there aren't any tweaks that still need to be implemented from time to time. Today we deal with the installation of Infinality, a patched version of FontConfig that has been created to improve the visual rendering of any text font. If you are using Red Hat, Fedora, or any derivates, use the following commands: sudo rpm -Uvh https://www.infinality.net/fedora/linux/infinality-repo-1.0-1.noarch.rpm sudo yum install freetype-infinality fontconfig-infinality For Debian, Ubuntu, or any derivates, use the following commands: echo “deb https://ppa.launchpad.net/no1wantdthisname/ppa/ubuntu raring main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/infinality.list echo “deb-src https://ppa.launchpad.net/no1wantdthisname/ppa/ubuntu raring main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/infinality.list sudo apt-key adv –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-keys E985B27B sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install fontconfig-infinality For Gentoo the package is included in the main repository so you need to use just the following commands: emerge --ask media-libs/fontconfig-infinality The only thing is that you may need to put the following line in /etc/portage/package.use: media-libs/freetype infinality Once installed, restart the system to implement the changes.
