Description Lua 2021-06-06 18:29:05 UTC
SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Lock the screen and take a screenshot with the clock and text being shown. Zoom the image in.
2. Take a screenshot from a big text like the the headers of System Settings, Discover etc and zoom the image in.
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Lock screen text is using an inconsistent font aliasing (a colored one), whereas Plasma shell is using a grey aliasing.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-06-09 20:28:12 UTC
This gets synced by the settings synchronization feature in the SDDM KCM. You need to use that to get the login screen to use the settings from your user account.

Unfortunately that didn't work. I even rebooted the system, but nothing.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2021-06-10 15:25:42 UTC
Can you please paste the contents of /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf?
Comment 5 Lua 2021-06-10 20:15:52 UTC
This file doesn't exist:
$ cat /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf
cat: /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf: No such file or directory
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2021-06-10 21:04:13 UTC
That means either you didn't sync the settings, or the sync didn't work.

Can you confirm whether you did the sync in the SDDM page?
Comment 7 Lua 2021-06-11 01:48:40 UTC
Yes, I synchronized the settings more than one time.
Comment 8 Lua 2021-06-11 01:51:32 UTC
Ok, I tried one more time and now the sync happened, but the aliasing is still the same.

Comment 9 Filip Fila 2021-08-03 14:58:40 UTC
Lua, you seem to be talking about the lock screen and not the login screen. SDDM and its KCM handle the login screen.
