--- Comment #125 from Kamil Páral <[email protected]> --- Hello guys. You are all super-smart and I know zero about fonts, so I can't really join the conversation. But I was plagued by the horrible fonts since I upgraded to Fedora 18 Beta and found this bugzilla yesterday after quite some effort. See screenshots below, this is how it looks for me. Everything is taken with Hinting:Full and Antialiasing:Rgba set it gnome-tweak-tool, because those settings give the best output to me. The web page is twice enlarged with Ctrl++, because that's the way I usually read it. Fedora 17 default: http://i.imgur.com/4GSAJ.png Perfect fonts, very clear, crisp and readable. Fedora 18 default: http://i.imgur.com/MLU9N.png Very blurry fonts, hardly readable for a longer period. My eyes bleed. After seeing this I wanted to switch the OS, but I decided to search for the source of the problem instead and arrived here. Fedora 18 with freetype-freeworld: http://i.imgur.com/TuGWA.png A bit better than the default, but I still see rainbows in the text, which makes me subconsciously annoyed. I very much prefer Fedora 17 way of rendering. If there is any way of switching to it, I'll do it, no matter the effort. But I hope it won't be needed and blurry fonts won't be the default. I don't really care that the fonts scale better (there is no big jump between 13pt and 14pt) or whatnot, because that's not important to me. The purpose of the font is to be nicely readable. That's all I want and expect. Fedora 17 is much better in this regard. -- 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/
