Will the patch mentioned above be included in Ubuntu in future? In my eyes the hinting is *far better*, especially with small fonts (10 pt an smaller) and even problems with spaces between letters are solved. The patch shouldn't do any harm to people using non-TFT monitors or have hinting disabled but will help most of the users. Additionally better fonts should be standard, I favor DejaVu but Bitstream is also good and often used by Debian. -- Font quality is poor when resolution is set to 1280x1024 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121903 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I would say this is a problem with the hinting settings. Make sure you're using high quality (TTF) fonts, for example Bitstream, DejaVu or Microsoft fonts (msttcorefonts-package). In some cases it's better to choose Autohinter instead of native, you have to experiment a bit if you're not satisfied with native. Now check if hinting is activated in gnome, the best option is full. Also make sure sub-hinting is activated an the right color-order is set (take a magnifier to find out which order is the right one for your display, in most cases it is RGB). To take effect on all changes save all of your opened documents, close the apllications and press [ctrl]+[alt]+[backspace] to restart the x-server. There is an additional patch to improve hinting: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343670 If you use Firefox as your web browser make sure font.Freetype2.autohinted and font.Freetype2.enable are set to true. You can achieve this by tipping abou:config in the adress field and doble click on these entries if they are set to false. I don't think your problem is a bug but misconfiguration. So try out these steps, I hope they will help you. -- Font quality is poor when resolution is set to 1280x1024 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121903 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

EDIT: You have to type about:config in Firefox. Choose good fonts in Firefox, too. -- Font quality is poor when resolution is set to 1280x1024 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121903 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As I have seen that I have rubbed out some text (probably moved the cursor with the touchpad) I will post the corrected instructions again: - I would say this is a problem with the hinting settings. Make sure you're using high quality (TTF) fonts, for example Bitstream, DejaVu or Microsoft fonts (msttcorefonts-package). Make sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig and after that sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config. Choose native, then always and at last no.
