Faceswap Forum

If you have installed Faceswap under Linux using the provided installer script, chances are that the fonts look ugly as all hell:

This is because Anaconda does not build TK with certain required libraries (for reference: https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda ... ssues/6833)

There is a work around to fix this. It's a little hacky, but does work. I provide instructions below for Ububtu 20.04, but this should work for all Linux flavors with a slight change in commands to use your package manager.

1. Firstly install tkinter for Python 3 for your system (amend this to the package name for tkinter and the installer for your distro if not using Ubuntu):

   Code: Select all

   sudo apt install python3-tk
   

2. FInd where your system installs the library files for tkinter. For ubuntu this will be under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ You can locate the file with the following command:

   Code: Select all

   sudo find / -name libtk8.6.so
   

3. Navigate to the library folder for your Faceswap Conda environment. The default location will be ~/miniconda3/envs/faceswap/lib so amend the below if you did not install Miniconda in the default location:

   Code: Select all

   cd ~/miniconda3/envs/faceswap/lib
   

4. Backup the existing tkinter library file:

   Code: Select all

   mv libtk8.6.so libtk8.6.so.bk
   

5. Finally create a symlink to you system tkinter library file. Make sure you amend the path below to the one you found in step 2:

   Code: Select all

   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtk8.6.so libtk8.6.so
   

Bask in your new found readability:

Definitely works!! Thanks!!

Works great! Thank you, looks way better.

I followed these instructions carefully and it resulted in failing to start. I had no problems doing this in Linux Mint.

OS = Lubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo

uname -a

5.11.0-38-generic #42₂₀.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 28 20:41:07 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

python3 --version

Python 3.8.10

I just switched from Mint to Lubunto however, the Gui in Faceswap is really ugly and the fonts are very tiny.

That should work, so not sure why it hasn't, to be honest. Mine is tested working on Ubuntu 20.04
