Blurry font rendering hidpi #829
Comments
xwayland, swaybar and swaylock don't support native scaling at the moment. If you want a crisp font for your terminal, you can try and switch to a native wayland terminal, such as: Hope this helps! |
@psgarsenal Thanks for the info, that was my guess, do you know if xwayland will have scaling support eventually that's a big show stopper for me at least, since I still use a lot of apps that don't support wayland yet. This is the only ticket I found https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93315. |
It's on a per-toolkit / per-application basis, gtk can be scaled via an environment var for example. EDIT: |
Do I need to do anything to make With sway 0.9 and wlc 0.0.5, I added For comparison, this is what I expect it to look like (from i3): I tried creating [output]
name=eDP-1
scale=2 …but that didn’t change anything either. |
weston-terminal might not support HiDPI. If you're looking for a term that does, try gnome-terminal. |
Oh, and the window decorations and bar are known limitations in sway's HiDPI support. See #797 |
Using gnome-terminal indeed works. I was originally trying weston-terminal because it was recommended in #829 (comment) |
Ah. I wouldn't suggest weston-terminal for any purpose. |
To be honest I did not test the scaling function, I just thought most native wayland applications supported scaling, which proves to be wrong |
swaybar, swaybg, and swaylock all support hidpi as of 0913eff...af44154 |
That's what I'd like to look into next. I actually missed a spot with swaybar I need to fix, though. |
How can I set Sway to hidpi mode? I am currently using on a 4k display and its pretty blurry. |
RTFM |
@stapelberg did you get rxvt to work without blurry fonts by any chance? I've everything setup and working quite well. Gnome-terminal is as sharp as it can be (hidpi, scale 2), but I can't get rxvt-unicode to render sharp fonts (Xft.dpi 282, antialias and the like are set already). Edit: |
