https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220814 ------- Comment #7 from mfabian@novell.com 2006-11-18 19:25 MST ------- The fonts are *much* sharper (less blurry) on openSUSE 10.2. Compare any of the strings outside of the e-mail body, for example the string "Inbox" or the string "From: bugzilla_noreply@novell.com". Use "xmag" if necessary. The reason for the sharper appearance in openSUSE 10.2 is that the byte code interpreter is used by default now for most TrueType fonts, including "DejaVu Sans" which is the font used here. The byte code interpreter gives much better results for fonts which have good byte code. The developers of the "DejaVu" fonts also told me this. The monospace font in the e-mail body is different for both screen shots. In the SLED10 screen shot, the font is "Nimbus Mono L", in the openSUSE 10.2 screen shot it is "DejaVu Sans Mono". "Nimbus Mono L" is a serif font (Courier style which looks like a typewriter). "DejaVu Sans Mono" is a sans serif font. As current computer screens unfortunately still have rather low resolution, the fine details of serif fonts can not be displayed well. Therefore it is usually better to used sans serif fonts by default. The reason we used "Nimbus Mono L" as the default monospace font until now was only a weird bug in kpdf (see bug #129081). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
