@eimis @theokonos This is not a packaging issue. Either uninstall bubblewrap or build the package in a clean chroot with devtools.

Thanks to the comment of hermes14; this fixed it for me: cd /etc/fonts/conf.d for i in `ls ../conf.avail/*` do sudo ln -s $i done

My fonts look great with 2.10, there's no difference at all with the previous version. This configuration works for me (symlinks under /etc/fonts/conf.d): 10-antialias.conf 10-hinting-slight.conf 10-hinting.conf 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf 11-lcdfilter-default.conf 20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans-mono.conf 20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans.conf 20-unhint-small-dejavu-serif.conf 30-metric-aliases.conf 30-urw-aliases.conf 31-cantarell.conf 40-nonlatin.conf 45-latin.conf 49-sansserif.conf 51-local.conf 57-dejavu-sans-mono.conf 57-dejavu-sans.conf 57-dejavu-serif.conf 60-latin.conf 65-fonts-persian.conf 65-nonlatin.conf 69-unifont.conf 70-no-bitmaps.conf 80-delicious.conf 90-synthetic.conf Hope this helps.

@madmack Sorry, was working on that but my pkgbuild fails at ./configure and at the moment I have neither the skills nor the time to figure it out.

PKGBUILD http://pastebin.com/nwbzjvzq fontconfig.install http://pastebin.com/tYkH95MG here you go my friend. fonts do look better now. just makepkg -s and then #pacman -U *.xz

same here. fonts look terrible after updating this package. u got the 2.8 PKGBUILD per chance?

I removed fontconfig-lcd but fonts still don't look nice. I used ubuntu fonts with full hinting and rgb-sub-pixel order but I had to deactivate both hinting and sub-pixel order in xfce and set the ubuntu font to a bigger size to make things readable again. Please fix or make a pkgbuild for version 2.8

Hello, please add "libtool" to the dependencies list. Thanks for maintaining this package!

Thanks for the feedback, Hspasta.
