I love having crisp fonts on Linux. By "crisp" I mean that there are no rough edges, that all strokes are the same thickness and all text is easily able to be read. I recently tried another Linux distribution (please, no flaming :P ) and found that the fonts simply didn't look good at all. The edges were quite rough and some strokes were quite thin. That distribution is using an kernel and X versions. My configuration is that I am using an Intel video chipset on a laptop with (of course) and LCD screen.
What is it that makes fonts look so good under Frugalware? From my experience they look perhaps a *little* better under GNOME than Xfce but that may be my imagination. If I recall correctly, ryuo wrote a patch which was intended to improve the appearance of fonts on LCD. I'm curious as to what combination makes fonts look good. I have struggled for years to understand how fonts work under Linux and failed so far. -- May you always be Frugal, Russell Dickenson (AKA phayz) _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list Frugalware-devel@frugalware.org http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
