11.8 Rendering Options
Font rendering can be tuned to adjust the amount of CPU time used and to suit user
preferences and the display hardware in use. Although Fontconfig permits configuration
of rendering using /etc/fonts/local.conf, rendering is usually configured through
GNOME or KDE.
The GNOME configuration window is accessed from the menu entry Desktop ???
Preferences ??? Font and is shown in Figure 11-5. The KDE rendering configuration
panel is accessed through the KDE Control Panel under Appearance & Themes ???
Fonts and is shown in Figure 11-6.

In both cases, you can enable or disable antialiasing, adjust the level of antialiasing
hinting, and set subpixel order.
On an older system with a slow CPU and/or low memory resources, turning off antialiasing
can make enough of a performance difference to turn an unbearably slow
system into one that performs reasonably.
When antialiasing is enabled, the hinting level can be set according to user preference.
Subpixel hinting is, by and large, useful only on LCDs. It involves treating each of
the RGB color elements in a pixel as a partial pixel.
