No need for patches. > Can someone help this guy, please? I am the right person here. I have the same problem but I don't think that MS-Windows is "very sharp" either. So the issue has several layers: * Color (subpixels) antialiasing may be enabled, which for me gives a bit too much "fringing"/"fuzzyness" in both GNU/Linux and MS-Windows. * Usually pure greyscale (pixel) antialasing is way better for me, but it also depends on whether the background is dark or light and whether the rendering library applies the right gamma correction for that (thanks to Werner for mentioning this some time ago). * For me it is much better to turn off antialiasing entirely and rely on the autohinter (for PS fonts) or hints to get sharp shapes in black-white mode. This depends critically on finding well-hinted fonts and on the screen resolution. * It is usually fairly important to set the screen resolution right "optically" (that is taking into account viewing distance. * Displays with a linear resolution higher than 100DPI help a lot. 27in 4k displays have nearlu 200DPI. The parameters related to the above are not part of FreeType but come in several additional layers depending on rendering and GUI framework. The desperate user should let us know the type of screen, the viewing distance, the type of fonts he prefers, and the GUI environment. In the meantime they can have a look at several articles and blog posts on the subject that I have written (one of my pet topics obviously): - http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxFonts.html - http://www.sabi.co.uk/Cfg/Fontconfig/ - http://www.sabi.co.uk/blog/22-one.html?220305#220305 - https://www.sabi.co.uk/blog/14-one.html?140228#140228 Also: - http://www.sabi.co.uk/blog/12-two.html#120225 - http://www.sabi.co.uk/blog/12-two.html#120206 - http://www.sabi.co.uk/blog/anno06-2nd.html#060509
