Pascal, I found this bug report through you blog post, FYI. I'd like to add some counterweight here, but I'm not sure if I'm making assumptions. Is changing the hinting option in the appearance control panel the same as switching those symlinks?
Because setting the hinting to full there actually makes fonts look rather blocky in my case, even squished together. I've attached a screenshot for comparison. Could be that I tried to work around the problem by picking a different font, rather than a different hinting setting. The text in that screenshot is all in Lucida Sans and Lucida Sans Typewriter. Besides the slight hinting, I also have sub-pixel rendering on and set to RGB. But I'm not sure what other settings matter in this case. ** Attachment added: "Comparison of slight and full hinting with Lucida fonts" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31757878/hinting_comparison.png -- Fontconfig should default to full hinting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210921 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
