What follows is the version, translated and edited, a guide on this fedoraforums.org to enable subpixel hinting with Fedora. Steps # 1, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 must be run as root. 1) Install yum-utils and rpmdevtools: yum install yum-utils rpmdevtools
2) Prepare the development environment: 3)
download folder ~ / rpmbuild / SOURCES
the three following patches:
freetype-2.2.1-subpixel-disable-quantization.diff , libcairo-1.2.4-lcd-cleartype-like.diff
,
libXft-2.1.8.2-lcd-cleartype-like . diff
4)
download folder ~ / rpmbuild / SRPMS the source package cairo, freetype and libXft: yumdownloader - source freetype cairo libXft 5) Download and install the dependencies to compile packages : builddep yum-1.6.4-1.fc9.src.rpm cairo-freetype-2.3.5-6.fc9.src.rpm libXft-2.1.12-5.fc9.src.rpm
6) Install just downloaded the source: rpm-i
cairo-1.6.4-1.fc9.src.rpm freetype-2.3.5-6.fc9.src.rpm libXft-2.1.12-5.fc9.src.rpm 7) Edit the SPEC file present in ~ / rpmbuild / SPECS
adding the following lines (shown in red):
cairo.spec
... buildroot:% {_tmppath} /% {name} -% {version}-root
Patch0: libcairo-1.2.4-lcd-cleartype-like.diff ...
% patch0-p1% build
...
freetype.spec

Patch0: libXft-2.1.8.2-lcd-cleartype-like.diff
... % patch0
-p1 # Disable static library creation by default. ...
8) Fill in the packages: rpmbuild
-bb ~ / rpmbuild / SPECS / cairo.spec
9) Exit the graphical mode: telinit 3
10) If you installed the package freetype-FreeWorld, remove it: yum remove freetype-FreeWorld
11) Install the newly created packages: rpm-Uvh - replacefiles - replacepkgs cairo-1.6.4-1.fc9.i386.rpm freetype-2.3.5-6.fc9. i386.rpm libXft-2.1.12-5.fc9.i386.rpm
12) Return to graphics mode: telinit 5
13) Configure the subpixel hinting in your desktop environment (Gnome, KDE, etc.)
14)
Edit the file / etc / yum.conf and add the line: exclude = cairo, freetype, libXft
In this way the packages are not updated with those in the standard repo (and unpatched). 15) To stay up to date on the latest version of each package, I recommend you subscribe to a mailing list fedora-package-announce
. In your mail client create a filter that deletes all mail from
fedora-package-announce@redhat.com
and object other than a banking syndicate, freetype, libXft. This will delete all messages regarding the updating of other programs, and when you do not care. Reporting bugs and suggestions are always welcome.
L'ultima riga ci permette di installare solo i pacchetti che ci servono per il supporto firewire, senza incasinare tutto il resto.
