Jelle de Jong has posted what appears to be a more comprehensive (i.e. systemwide) fix for this on the xubuntu-devel mailing list. It has also been added to xubuntuguide.org.
To save you time, here is an excerpt from the email:
1 - Remove old config file's:Technorati Tags: xubuntu, fonts, fix, firefox
rm ~/.config/xfce4/Xft*
2 - Create new settings:
Menu -> Settings -> User Interface Preferences
Font Rendering:
RECHECK all checkboxen with these settings:
Use anti-aliasing for fonts
Use hinting: Full
Use sub-pixel hinting: RGB
3 - Go to
mousepad ~/.config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb
And paste in the last line:
Xft.dpi: 96
(always leave a empty line)
Looks now like this:
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.dpi: 96
Save and exit the Xft.xrdb file
4 - Edit xorg
sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf
And paste in under Section "Files" (if it’s not there alread):
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi"
Looks now like this:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
# path to defoma fonts
FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection
5 - Create a DisplaySize property
Go to Section "Monitor"
My resolution is 1440x900.
width = 1440
heigth = 900
formula = pixelwidth/dpi*25.4 and pixelheight/dpi*25.4
1440/96*25.4 and 900/96*25.4 =
DisplaySize 381 238.125
(Note for a 1024x768 display, the values would be 270.93 and 203.2.)
Looks now like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
Modeline "1440x900" 106.50 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -Hsync +Vsync
DisplaySize 381 238.125
HorizSync 30-81
VertRefresh 56-75
EndSection
Save and exit the xorg.conf file
Restart the system.
Tips:
1 - You can also test to use 100 dpi everywere
2 - If openoffice gives you a hard time remove (removes al you openoffice settings)
rm ~/.openoffice.org2
3- Use these commands to see your settings
xdpyinfo |grep resolution
xrdb -q |grep Xft
