In the screenshot I uploaded, the characters sometimes touch or overlap with full hinting. In the highlighted parts, closely look at 'ar' in 'Spark', and 'Al' in 'Algemeen'. Apart from what I find pleasant to look at, the smoothing with slight hinting, to me, pretty much resembles what I see in OS X. I personally hold Apple in high regard when it comes to typography. But then, I really know next to nothing about typography. If it really is a matter of preference, then what are the arguments for changing the default? How can we tell which is right? -- 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
