! X.org resources for a 500Mhz, white, dual USB iBook (PPC).

! The XFT DPI is an application-level, hardware-independent DPI. (Yes, an
! unfortunate overloading of this already overloaded phrase.) This should
! generally be set to 96, irregardless of hardware capability or software
! resolution, since the only aspect of the user interface experience that this
! DPI governs is application font-size and since application font-sizes should
! be displayed at a roughly uniform size, across different hardware and
! software.
!
! Please note that these settings duplicate settings at "/etc/fonts/local.conf",
! at the moment.
!
! For further details, see:
! * "Autohinting, Hinting, Bytecode Interpreting: Freetype2 Clarifications."

! Do not set the DPI here; instead, use the "DisplaySize" setting in
! "xorg.conf".
!Xft.dpi: 96

! Antialias fonts. This is the X.org default, and most certainly what you want.
!Xft.antialias: true

! Enable sub-pixel rendering. This is not the X.org default, since it is not
! widely applicable. (CRT displays cannot display sub-pixels by virtue of the
! discreteness of the electron gun with which they display every pixel.)
!
! Enabling this option for LCD displays is a sensible default, however.
!Xft.rgba: rgb

! Disable autohinting. Unix hinting is an odd affair, unfortunately. Apple has
! explicit patents for font hinting, at the moment. Consequently, FreeType ships
! with an alternative named "autohinting." Firstly, what are font hints? Font
! hints are mathematical instructions customarily embedded within a font on a
! per-glyph basis, specifying how to horizontally line up each glyphs baseline
! and cap height with that of each other glyphs. Since font hinting is
! effectively under patent, "autohinting" ignores these font hints embedded in
! each font file so as to automatically reconstruct the font hints appropriate
! for that file. As may be surmised, this tends to produce a somewhat dodgier
! result than simply using embedded font hints. (So, we disable it by default.)
!Xft.autohint: false

! Do not hint fonts, by default. Although this effect is purportedly nice for
! high resolution displays, font hinting tends to produce "glyph bleeding" (that
! is, excessive blending of glyph pixels with background pixels) for most
! low resolution screens.
!Xft.hinting:   true
