Title:
[hardy] Fonts are rendered slightly fuzzy and are too thin
Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Binary package hint: fontconfig
Somehow the font rendering in Hardy makes it hard to read them and
therefore use my PC. Which is very frustrating.
The most noticeable change from 7.10 => 8.04 is that the font thickness has
been decreased too much. However, changing the default font-size to 11, doesn't
give the desired look that 7.10 had. The fonts just stay too thin.
Something that probably goes hand in hand with the thin fonts, is the fact
that they are also partly blurred. This is very noticeable in the
gnome-terminal.
I have tried every option in the font menu, all to no avail.
See the screenshot for more details. Especially notice the font-
rendering in the terminal and the gnome-panel menu. It hurts the eyes.
