Hi, I'd just like to add something:
After upgrading the new Font Prefs correctly determined my screen's resolution to be 94dpi (if I check gconf-editor, the DPI is set at 94.45929... dpi, while the Xorg.0.log says: "DPI set to (94, 95); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config option"). Before I've always used 96dpi. After the upgrade I noticed the text rendering to be "off", especially with respect to kerning. I notice this most when browsing using Epiphany. The spacing between the letters seems to be much more irregular. To illustrate see the links below for two screenshots of a paragraph of text, rendered by Epiphany, with no hinting and greyscale smoothing. I hope you can tell the difference - the nativedpi.png is supposed to be the "bad" one. http://aquazul.com/debian/96dpi.png http://aquazul.com/debian/nativedpi.png Now it's of course no big deal for me to set the dpi back to 96, but I'm wondering why it looks so bad - I believed that the regularity of the letter widths and spacing wouldn't be affected whatever dpi I used. Just wanted to let you know that even when the dpi gets detected correctly, text rendering might take a turn for the worse.
