[Bug 332172] Re: Default font rendering should be Subpixel smoothing intead of Best shapes
as discussed we will change the default now and put the real fix (auto detection and fontconfig) into a PPA for testing. ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Fix Committed -- Default font rendering should be Subpixel smoothing intead of Best shapes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 332172] Re: Default font rendering should be Subpixel smoothing intead of Best shapes
Declined as nominated for Jaunty. We will not hold up the release for this. However, we do want to fix it. Currently, fontconfig uses subpixel smoothing by defaul. However, Gnome overrides this behavior. To solve this, there are two options: 1. flip the default gconf (for users who have not tweaked their settings and new users) 2. find a fix that prevents gnome from overwriting fontconfig -- Default font rendering should be Subpixel smoothing intead of Best shapes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 332172] Re: Default font rendering should be Subpixel smoothing intead of Best shapes
this problem can either be hacked around by enabling subpixel rendering everywhere by default, or by doing the right thing. The right thing (for now) would be to add the notion of automatic fontrendering that ensures that the good defaults shipped by fontconfig are actually used. The good fix would patch the backend (gnome-settings-daemon) and also extend the control panel to provide a automatic radio button. I think i can prepare a fix for backend swiftly. If it rocks we might want a UI freeze exception as this will probably land a few days late. ** Also affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Alexander Sack (asac) Status: New = In Progress ** Also affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Default font rendering should be Subpixel smoothing intead of Best shapes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

i dont think there is a general issue with fontconfig here ... if there are issues with the fontconfig defaults, we can open new bugs. ** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- Default font rendering should be Subpixel smoothing intead of Best shapes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

you can test it by going to gconf-editor and flipping automatic on and off ... play with the other particles there and see how it goes smooth if you are on automatic.
