Summary: Bad rendering of font: 12pt "Trebuchet MS"
Classification: openSUSE

Version: unspecified
Platform: x86-64
OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3
Status: NEW

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; pl-PL; rv:1.9.2.12)
Gecko/20101026 SUSE/3.6.12-0.7.1 Ant.com Toolbar 2.0.1 Firefox/3.6.12
openFATE recommends using "Trebuchet MS" for displaying ordinary text. Several
uppercase letters render bold at this size, making the text ugly. This is a
proprietary, closed-source font [2] so the rendering problem cannot be
corrected; and such a product should not be promoted by the open source
community.
According to the style sheet provided by the site, the only preferred font is
"Lucida Grande" that is NOT BUNDLED with openSUSE.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tell Mozilla Firefox to visit openFATE [1].
2. Read the opening paragraph.
3.
Tell KCharSelect to show the rendering of the basic Latin character set using
the font "Trebuchet MS" 2 pt.
Actual Results:
2. ([X] means X looks bold)
openF[A]TE is the openSUSE community interface to the Feature- and Requirements
[M]anagement System of openSUSE and [N]ovell's Linux Business. It opens the
process of product planning.
(the effective font size is 16px)
3. The following glyphs are disturbed: M and N (bold) and A (demibold).
Expected Results:
2.
openFATE is the openSUSE community interface to the Feature- and Requirements
Management System of openSUSE and Novell's Linux Business. It opens the process
of product planning.
3.
All glyphs should have visually equal weight (in this case, 1px since most
glyphs are hairline).
