--- Comment #97 from Mike FABIAN <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 654856 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=654856&action=edit liberation-sans-1-2.png Comparison of Liberation Sans 1 and 2 with ftview. Left: Liberation Sans 1.07 Right: Liberation Sans 2.00 Byte code hinting used, *no* forced autohinting, grayscale anti-aliasing. One can see that Liberation Sans 1 is very sharply rendered up to 17 point. The vertical and horizontal lines are exactly one pixel wide and black, there is not gray around them. From 18 point on, the vertical lines jump to a width of 2 pixels. For Liberation Sans 2, there is always some gray around the stems which makes it much more fuzzy and at sizes <= 17 point it makes it also look much bolder. A sharp byte code rendering as for Liberation Sans 1 of course causes sudden jumps in boldness when increasing the font size because the vertical lines have a thickness of integer pixels, at some point it jumps from a width of 1 pixel to a width of 2 pixels. Without such bytecode, no such sudden jump in boldness appears when increasing the font size. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts-bugs http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
