These are SlackBuilds+patches to rebuild some official packages in Slackware Linux, are in test so be careful with the result in your system.
"infinality-bundle is a collection of software utilizing the power of font rendering offered by infinality patches and fontconfig rules known as fontconfig-infinality-ultimate."
- Project: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Infinality-bundle%2Bfonts
- Source code: https://github.com/bohoomil/fontconfig-ultimate
- Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/aadityabagga/bob-infinality-bundle
-
Download the sources using
bob-sources.sh -
Build and install the packages using
install.sh(I found that installing the patched freetype and fontconfig was enough for my needs)
- At this moment these SlackBuilds are from and for Slackware Linux 14.1
- I tried to make the minimal modificactions to the originals Slackbuilds.
- There is not need to select a type of font rendering (Windows, Apple or Ubuntu)
since the "aim of infinality-bundle is to make use of the vast potential hidden
in native Linux font rendering back-end". This does not mean you can not
configure some aspects of the font rendering, please check:
/etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh/usr/doc/fontconfig-2.10.93/fontconfig-infinality-ultimate
- You can see the differences between the default font rendering and the patched one:
- Backup /etc/fonts/ before you install fontconfig and remove any personal configuration (~/.fonts.conf, ~/.fonts.conf.d or ~/.config/fontconfig) to avoid any issue.
