Is your font rendering bad? Are you lost in pile of documents and man pages which claims to explain how to make your font better? Are you feeling like virgin but want to be chad?


If you answered yes too all question and then look no further than this video! This video will tell you exactly how to solve your problems!


Be chad and make yourself proud.

Commands:
fc-list - to list all fonts.
fc-match - to find a particular font/
fc-list | grep - to also find a particular font for when "fc-match" doesnt work.


Summary of options:
Antialiasing - Smooth the jagged lines in font. (may make the fonts look fuzzier). I have it disabled.
Hinting - Adjust the outline of font so that it aligns with the pixel grid on your monitor. (may distort the fonts". I have it enabled.
Autohint - Should be disabled.
Hintstyle - Default is hintslight. It is mostly personal preference. I have hinslight.


Notes:
I use noto fonts to have mostly consistent look across multiple languages.
I wish there were something like noto fonts but bitmap like terminus. It would be the best font ever!
I should've shown how fonts look on different apps and websites and also how each option affects the look of the font. Maybe next time.
