[Bug 84346] Re: [RESOLVED] Font rendering bug in Gnome Control Centre sidebar
I just checked the current control center (1:2.18.0-0ubuntu1) in feisty and the bug is fixed/gone. Probably due to some changes in libslab which provides the widget in question. It's a little puzzling why it appeared in the first place because I perused the libslab code and it looked very straightforward. Anyway, bug is gone.

Well, it may be regarded as a low priority visual bug. I only reported it because it is rather jarring. The fonts are correct but because the hinting interacts with the darker background it essentially looks like a monochrome (black and background) font instead of having the gradations of grey that fool the eye into registering smoothness. -- Font rendering bug in Gnome Control Centre sidebar https://launchpad.net/bugs/84346 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Here is a screenshot. I used the screen magnifier to get a closeup of the problem. The mouse cursor was above the System button making it highlighted and raised. If you look at the letter 'e' in System and Other you can see that one has darker hinted pixels than the other (due to the difference in background ??). The difference makes the lettering Other look jagged. ** Attachment added: Screenshot with close up of font rendering http://librarian.launchpad.net/6439504/Screenshot.png -- Font rendering bug in Gnome Control Centre sidebar https://launchpad.net/bugs/84346 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It's not on the Group label, but on the buttons in that section. From a quick glance at the code they appear to be a composite widget called a 'tile'. -- Font rendering bug in Gnome Control Centre sidebar https://launchpad.net/bugs/84346 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 84346] Font rendering bug in Gnome Control Centre sidebar
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center The Group selection buttons in gnome-control-center render with little jagged edges, as if hinting was turned off for them. The rest of the control centre uses the desktop wide hinting (I haven't changed it from the install default). However, when I mouseover a button the rendering looks correct and as soon as the mouse leaves the button it is back to jaggies. No other button on my system behaves like that, so it doesn't appear to be a gtk bug. Always reproducible.
