Public bug reported:
Problem:
- Kochi Gothic and Kochi Mincho fonts render poorly (sometimes missing entire
glyphs) when subpixel smoothing is enabled.
- Kochi Gothic and Kochi Mincho are high up on the default fonts preference
list (this may be locale dependent, I'm not sure), so CJK websites will render
with missing glyphs.
Details
- Stock Gutsy install from scratch
- Autohinter off as per default (problem is alleviated with autohinter on, but
autohinter makes fonts look ugly IMO)
- en_US.UTF8 locale
Steps to reproduce
- Select Kochi Gothic font (also affects Kochi Mincho)
- Toggle subpixel smoothing on/off
- Read/write CJK text
I'm under the impression that subpixel smoothing has been changed in
Gutsy (compared to Feisty). I do not recall if this bug affected Feisty.
