Package: ttf-mgopen Version: 1.1-3 Severity: normal The text rendering of the font MgOpen Canonica looks terrible at small sizes (really, at any size below 20). I suspect this is due to broken hinting.
An example of some characters at size 8: http://staticfree.info/oldshots/scap-1249571981.png Gnome font settings: Resolution: 106dpi Smoothing: greyscale Hinting: full Rendering: best shapes With hinting turned off, it becomes blurry, but the shapes make more sense: http://staticfree.info/oldshots/scap-1249572381.png If this is only intended to be a print font, it would probably be a good idea to make it so it isn't shown on the screen using some defoma rules. To give a reference for what this looks like in body text, please see the following: http://staticfree.info/oldshots/scap-1249572860.png For whatever reason (I suspect torment), the author of the blog decided to specify this font in particular in their CSS. It'd be nice if even maliciously-intended CSS writers couldn't hurt users' eyes in this way. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (300, 'testing'), (150, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ttf-mgopen depends on: ii defoma 0.11.10-0.2 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f Versions of packages ttf-mgopen recommends: ii fontconfig 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii x-ttcidfont-conf 31 TrueType and CID fonts configurati ttf-mgopen suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
