Recently I’ve upgraded from 25.05 to 25.11, and now my fonts looks terrible again. I use a font config on my home-manager to have more pretty fonts, but now it’s not working anymore.
Here’s the config I use to make fonts better home.nix/fonts.conf at 38835fbf4c0885430e69ad584ec075226850bcdd · CyberDruga/home.nix · GitHub
Here’s a print of how it looks now.
Here’s a print of 25.05
What DE/WM and what application?
I’m currently building into 25.05 to take screenshots of that
updated my post with prints of 25.05.
I’ve been trying to bisect nixpkgs to find which commit changes this, but it’s taking me forever to build stuff cause some packages aren’t cached.
Bisect with --first-parent, and only redo without when hitting a staging merge between last good and bad.
Anyway, if it’s really “system wide” I have no clue.
If it was only xwayland, then I’d say it’s because of odd scaling.
I think I figured something out. For some reason gnome isn’t detecting my fonts.
And I don’t know why because the font is installed, and shows up on Gnome font viewer
after a while I figured it out. I checked for any font related config under my user and found this one, so I just renamed it to .old and now everything works again.
The previous thing about Gnome not loading the custom fonts weren’t true too. After checking it, it turns out that it takes a long time for the fonts to load, which gives the impression that it couldn’t find anything.
