Hi, I just witnessed an odd phenomenon and I'm wondering if it's a sign of a problem or an aspect of the way font rendering operates (I can imagine it either way).
Specifically, I opened the Beagle window by clicking its tray icon. When the window appears, the fonts were extremely ragged. I decided to take a snapshot, so I used the system (KDE / Geeko) menu to launch KSnapshot. I took a picture of the Beagle window. While I was doing so, I was paying attention only to the KSnapshot interface and had neglected to really watch the Beagle window. When I finally dismissed the KSnapshot window (after capturing and saving the picture) I was startled to see that the ragged font display had been replaced with a properly smoothed one. I've seen the phenomenon repeat itself after this first instance (again in the Beagle GUI). So my question is this: Is this a bug or is there some kind of asynchronous rendering of smoothed fonts that sometimes leads to a ragged font display upon first use of a given font but which is later replaced with the smoothed version, once the smoothed glyphs have been rendered?
