Emacs-pgtk-native-comp-git has blurry fonts

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)
1

Hi folks,

recently, I've noticed that GUI Emacs provided by emacs-pgtk-native-comp-git-29.0.50.157440-1, shows blurred/skewed/pixelated font variants (everything that's not plain, mono type is blurry).

Using GUI Emacs from the emacs package shows all the font variants (bold, regular++) just tine.

The emacs-pgtk-native-comp-git-29.0.50.157440-1 package: emacs -q

Since when has this been the case?

Does it change after a reboot?

Did you search about in the WWW?

This might actually be an issue with the application itself, it would be better to report this at either the AUR page or GitHub. We just build that package as-is from the AUR PKGBUILD :slight_smile:

Does it change after a reboot?

I haven’t checked that. I thought that since it worked as expected when installing the emacs package and running it, a restart of the X session (or OS) wouldn’t affect the outcome.

Did you search about in the WWW?

Yes, I did, but my search foo wasn’t up to the task, didn’t find anything that matched exactly what I was after. The articles I found suggested that it was down to the font used, which it is not in my case.

Roger that. Thanks for the insight :smile:

I’ve been away for 3 weeks on holiday, so I don’t know when this broke :disappointed: The only thing I now time wise, is that it worked before I went traveling.
