You can read my topic at bbs.archlinux.org.
I've solded this issue in following steps. First, install packages.
yaourt -S fontconfig-ubuntu freetype2-v35
Second, update ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter" > <const>lcdlegacy</const> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" > <const>hintfull</const> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const>rgb</const> </edit> <edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <test name="fullname" compare="eq"> <string>Terminus (TTF)</string> </test> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig>
Third, update ~/.Xresources.
Xft.autohint: 0 Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.antialias: 0 Xft.rgba: rgb Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
File /etc/profile.d/freetype2.sh leave without changes.
