But there's more to sync (description / settings.ini key / gsettings key / xsettings key): Antialiasing (0 / 1): gtk-xft-antialias / org.gnome.desktop.interface.font-antialiasing (none / grayscale / rgba) / Xft/Antialias Hinting (0 / 1): gtk-xft-hinting / <none> / Xft/Hinting Hint style (hintnone / hintslight / hintmedium / hintfull): gtk-xft-hintstyle / org.gnome.desktop.interface.font-hinting / Xft/HintStyle RGB subpixel order (rgba (none) / rgb / bgr / vrgb / vbgr): gtk-xft-rgba / org.gnome.desktop.interface.font-rgba-order / Xft/RGBA Monospace font: <none> / org.gnome.desktop.interface.monospace-font-name / <none> Document font (KDE doesn't seem to have this, perhaps set the general one?): <none> / org.gnome.desktop.interface.document-font-name / <none> STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Check settings.ini / org.gnome.desktop.interface section in dconf-editor / dump_xsettings OBSERVED RESULT Font settings to be set EXPECTED RESULT Font settings aren't set except of gtk-font-name (general font) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: NixOS 24.11 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 Kernel Version: 6.9.1-zen1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx Memory: 5.7 ГиБ of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics
Good idea, wanna submit a patch?
No, unlikely I will do that... 😅
Since gtk 4.16, one has to set a new setting to 'manual' for other font rendering settings to work: gtk-font-rendering / org.gnome.desktop.interface.font-rendering / <none> https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/7113 The MR also mentions a settings.ini-only gtk-hint-font-metrics setting (which is not new) that control subpixel positioning of text
