Comment #21 has it right! Until this gets fixed, I use this hacky little script, anytime after KDE has started, and the nasty subpixel rendering in plasma/kwin goes away:
#!/bin/sh killall plasma-desktop killall kwin plasma-desktop & kwin & I don't know how those apps are managing to ignore every font config file in my system, or why they are then suddenly honored later in the KDE startup process. I also think it's very rude for any application to default to subpixel rendering, which even on LCDs looks awful. Whatever optical illusion the technique relies on is incompatible with my eyes, and I'm not the only one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/921555 Title: Plasma panel and menu don't follow font hinting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase-workspace/+bug/921555/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
