fonts

Hello, I'm not a developer, but working as designer in software development. As many other designers nowadays, we're using Figma as a main tool. Figma can be open in FreeBSD in a web browser, no issue at all. But the most important part is missing: It can't read local fonts from the browser just...

Hi there, this "how to" is mainly targeting new users that come from Linux and expect to simply install a package that has some Microsoft hints in its name, which it doesn't. As a matter of fact the port that installs standard Microsoft TTF fonts is called webfonts, and in order to use such...

Among other issues I'm having with linux packages, after installing linux-dwarffortress my terminal and web browser fonts have been replaced. In my web browser on some pages, I get text that looks like this: And in Alacritty, it acts as if my terminal font is missing. I use...

I'm having an issue after building the graphics/blender port. Particularly I see no text at all, and when running in the terminal I get the following: blf_load_font_default: 'fonts' data path not found for 'droidsans.ttf', will not be able to display text blf_load_font_default: 'fonts' data...

Hello. I'm running FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE, KDE Plasma 5.22.4.21.04.3, and LibreOffice 7.1.4.2. I'm having a problem getting LibreOffice to recognize the fonts that came with the urwfonts package that I installed. I followed the instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook; while the fonts show up in Qt...

I'm on FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE on the quarterly branch, and I use x11-fonts/terminus in the terminal because I think it's quite nice looking for CL use. This morning there was a large packages update, and after completing the upgrade Terminus is no longer seen in Xfce4's Terminal nor any font menu...

Hello everyone, I am a new user to freebsd, but not to unix based OSes. I've used Linux for years but for various reasons I am switching to freebsd. Having said that, I'm having issues with screen resolution. I have searched through various forums, including this one and I'm just not finding...

Hi, I decided to use my freshly installed FreeBSD-12-STABLE only in "text" mode (cheap laptop, no drivers for touchpad). I manged to configure nice colors (solarized) but stuck with two things. One of them is font configuration. Currently I use default terminus font. The problem is that when...

After the 10 May update to x11-wm/twm, it no longer runs but exits with the message "unable to open fontset [any you care to name]". Restoring the previous version of twm works (as expected). Anyone else have this issue?

This topic really needs an up-to-date, comprehensive How-To. Font rendering in Firefox is hideous. The webfonts pkg does not change it and every suggestion I've found does not work. Chromium looks fine. Can anyone advise how to fix this and get font rendering for Firefox working as it should be?

Hello. I would like to use Helvetica font on Freebsd, but it seems that the Helvetica installed by default is a bitmap version. Is there any way to use a Helvetica font that is not bitmap? Thank you in advance.

As suggested in many posts, many times on this forum and in the Handbook - I removed my old /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf configuration file, and let Xorg do its auto-detection thing. However, after running startx, Xorg ran OK but I couldn't open x11/xterm or x11/rxvt-unicode and my window...

I noticed I have three foreign language fonts in editors/libreoffice and www/firefox that I would like to remove if possible. I can't find them by name in ports so am at a bit of a loss. The fonts (first name) are estrangelo serto east syriac If these are part of the base OS, that's fine, but...

How and where can I change the default system font? For now it appears to be DejaVu 10, which is quite horrible on my laptop. By default system font I mean the font that is used in menus or labels. For example when I open Firefox for the first time or any KDE application for the first time...

Hello! Alright, here's a problem I've been struggling with. Fonts look very fuzzy and blurry when antialiased, and I've tried the whole gamut of works to fix it: Subpixel rendering, LCD Filtering, the various modes of hinting, disabling and enabling the autohinter, replacing some fonts with...

Hi, I am running Xorg on 9.3-RELEASE-p21 on a Nvidia vanta (which is a TNT ): [ 996.823] (--) NV(0): Chipset: "Vanta" [ 996.823] (==) NV(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 [ 996.823] (==) NV(0): RGB weight 888 [ 996.823] (==) NV(0): Default visual is TrueColor As can be seen from this...
