Hi I did some testing in both vmware and lubuntu running native on a macbook.
On both setups the font is difference in gnustep vs gtk. I thought the default backend for when you install with apt-get was cairo but it seems to be xlib or art (don't know because the name is "back"). For both setups, when using backend "back" and "art" text is rendered wrongly, that is letter overlap or stick together. With cairo it's better, "re" does not stick together but "ee" does. This does not happen in gtk apps where there is clearly a space between the letters "ee". Overall in both setups, gnustep apps' fonts look more grainy than gtk's which are very smooth. xdpyinfo reports 96 dpi. I have a vague memory of changing the dpi setting for gnustep apps but I can't find any such setting.. I did change the dpi for the system. Macbook Air 11.6" has 135 ppi so I change to that and the result was Bigger fonts for all gtk stuff (way too big!) Same size as before for gnustep apps. Seems like gnustep does not respect dpi settings of the system, for both cairo and xlib backend. (defaults to 75 dpi?) Doing "xrandr --dpi 75x75" and gnustep and gtk render the fonts the same size. However, the width of the text is different. On gnustep apps the letters are more tightly packed (with cairo and xlib). By the way, with xlib backend I get error message while running Ink "Calling [GSXftFontInfo -widthOfGlyphs:length:] with incorrect signature...."
