[Bug 921555] Re: Plasma panel and menu don't follow font hinting
If you zoom into the images in the attachments (#31, 32, #33) it looks like Plasma is using *grayscale* anti-aliased fonts. On my LCD monitor, RGB sub-pixel anti-aliased fonts look better, and zooming into these fonts in the attached images, you will see slight color fringes on the characters). In System Settings, I have enabled Use sub-pixel rendering. I have selected RGB from the drop down. I have selected Hint style Full from the drop down. And I have de-selected Exclude range. Additionally, under Desktop Effects | Advanced, I have selected Native from the drop down as the QT graphics system. I am using an Intel graphics chip. Nevertheless, the Plasma widgets seem to ignore my sub-pixel rendering selection in System Settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/921555 Title: Plasma panel and menu don't follow font hinting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase-workspace/+bug/921555/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 921555] Re: Plasma panel and menu don't follow font hinting
I am trying out Kubuntu 13.04 x64 (KDE 4.10.3) and the issue is still present. (This bug has been around for a while; I had actually switched away from KDE in 2011 because of it!!!) I tried restarting Kwin per comment #27, and that seems to at least pick up my selected font style when displaying the minimized windows in the taskbar and Kicker. However, the fonts in Kicker still seem pixlilated and choppy even though the fonts in applications (Konqueror, Kate, Konsole, etc.) are correctly applying the full font hinting, as I have selected. Does anyone know the actuall process that is used to render fonts in Plasma widgets? If comment #24 is accurate, and fonts are indeed rendered as images 1st, then this bug may be a clallenge to resolve: it would entail changing the basic plasma framework. Any thoughts? I'd really like to resolve this years old bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/921555 Title: Plasma panel and menu don't follow font hinting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase-workspace/+bug/921555/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
