*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 199523 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199523 Same problem here. I hope this is not the place to discuss if this change is nice or not. In gnome I have turned on subpixel rendering and set hinting to strong. The fonts were perfect before the update

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 199523 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199523 I can confirm the workaround suggested by Juergen. I've dowgraded language-selector and language-selector-common to 0.2.9_all.deb and since then fonts look nice again. Thus, maybe this is not duplicate of bug

This isn't a duplicate. The problem is caused by 29-language-selector- ja-jp.conf which enables the autohinter. This gives ugly results with some fonts (which have good hints), for example with the Microsoft fonts (Arial, Verdana, ...). It's possible to work around this with $(HOME)/.fonts.conf

I can confirm the today's change in rendering. I don't like the change at all, it looks horrible at any possible configuration available. The resolution is 1680x1050 (on a 15,4'' Thinkpad and 22'' Samsung LCD). I would be pleased to get back the old way of rendering/antialiasing. But I'm

i have to say I like the change, if it is an error, maybe something along the lines of a bolder but less messier font should be in store for hardy. -- [hardy] fonts have had different properties since update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199557 You received this bug notification because you
