Yes, unfortunately Ubuntu have picked a buggy driver revision. A temporary fix is to disable text mip-mapping (note that you'll have problems using high-quality textures too, but the default settings for this are fine). You can do this application-side, with clutter_set_use_mipmapped_text (FALSE); before creating any ClutterLabel/ClutterEntry actors, or you can patch Clutter itself. In clutter-main.c, search for the line pango_clutter_font_map_set_use_mipmapping (ctx->font_map, TRUE); and change 'TRUE' to 'FALSE'. This will affect all Clutter applications and fix the problem. Note that scaled text will also look awful, however. -- Chris Lord, Intel Open Source Technology Centre -- To unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
