Public bug reported: Free fonts that are provided are not very usable:
Bitstream Vera have broken support for latin-2 and other very common glyphs (without them European users from PL, CZ, DE can not work) especially in Sans version. DejaVu is fixed, but unfortunately it is also broken but in other way: the font is too thin - and it becomes gray (instead black), especially in Mono (and afair also in Sans). So only usable font is DejaVu Seriff, but well Seriff is not very good looking. 1) How to make DejaVu not so thick 2) It is not very clear how to make that font to be default everywhere. Please make DejaVu to be deafult instead Bitstream Vera: a) Open Office b) Some other KDE apps that have own font config (like Kate) c) make "sans" and other general fonts map to it d) make it default for KDE, Gnome etc WM Problems with Bitstream are discussed in many other bug reports already, for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-bitstream-vera/+bug/11180 Problem with DejaVu beeing thick - in attachment I have enabled AntilAlias for fonts (in KDE Controll Center - Fonts), but only Slight, and other fonts look ok. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ugly (thin/gray) and/or broken (latin-2) fonts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
