@ Pascal de Brujin I fail to see how 95% of the users would benefit from full hinting. We have tested the current settings on various screens (including very cheap ones!) and it provides the best overall experience and readability. Please also remember that the dpi and quality of screens constantly improves and full hinting on any modern laptop screen just looks plain ugly. Also, Firefox doesn't seem to respect the hinting change (not sure if that's a known issue or it's just me) which results in different appearance from the rest of the system.
What we should work on instead is a good font config interface that would enable the users to easily pick the best solution for their screen. In the ideal world this would happen automatically, but, as it often happens, we're not quite there yet with all the required pieces :) -- 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
