Description Akira TAGOH 2015-05-21 08:04:27 UTC
Let's see the above result:

$ fc-match :pixelsize=10:scalable=false:lang=en
helvR10-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"
$ fc-match :pixelsize=12:scalable=false:lang=en
helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"
$ fc-match :pixelsize=14:scalable=false:lang=en
helvR10-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"
$ fc-match :pixelsize=16:scalable=false:lang=en
helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"
$ fc-match :pixelsize=18:scalable=false:lang=en
helvR18-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"

If no fonts installed for requested size, it fc-match doesn't return the near-sized font. that may causes the ugly rendering.

erm, false alarm. they were picking up a font in different dpi
