Thank you for pointing that out, Paul. Looks like optimizeLegibility does fix things in some places.
So, I'm committing the change you suggested. Here is a before and after screenshot for one title that changes noticeably: http://people.ubuntu.com/~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/bugs/lp688512/1Before.png http://people.ubuntu.com/~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/bugs/lp688512/1After.png I don't have much of an eye for fonts, unfortunately. Please let me know if this can be improved any more :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubiquity Slideshow, which is subscribed to ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/688512 Title: Installation slideshow: Tracking in large text is off Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Apparently the larger text rendered in the Ubuntu Font Family has broken kerning/tracking in the installer slideshow. The relevant slides are HTML files that can be found in the 'ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu' source package at: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu-29/slideshows/ubuntu/slides/*.html This should be a manifestation of bug #617522 "does not use kerning tables at >20px (text-rendering: optimizeLegibility)" ubiquity-gtk is using webkit; webkit had a patch included a year ago that enables the CSS "text-rendering: optimiseSpeed vs. optimizeLegibility" properties in a similar manner to Firefox. It may be enough to set these. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
