Bug #: 35805
Summary: bad font rendering in EasyTimeline
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: EasyTimeline
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The text of most timelines generated by EasyTimeline are virtually unreadable.
Here's an example:

There is no kerning whatsoever and the rendering looks like a BMP font that has
been resized. We have plenty of good free-license fonts, and our SVG renderer
is not entirely crappy these days, so I'm not sure what is causing the bad font
rendering. Perhaps we just need to switch from FreeSans (which I've never heard
of) to something like Vera Sans or DejaVu Sans.
