There may be a good reason for this, but a common complaint is that sub-pixel rendering for fonts is not turned on by default in opensuse in KDE, unlike in most distributions, resulting in ugly fonts.
I think that's a legal thing again as these use patented concepts.
So it is legal to include it in the software, but not to enable it?
I think opensuses font libraries don't even support it, so enabling shouldn't change anything. But I don't track all the legal issues, novell barely documents what's blocked by legal department =/ Even if they'd release a fontlib with enabled subpixel hinting the kde devel group wouldn't notice right away, inter group communication still looks somewhat flaky from the outside =)
Once again, if KDE doesn't support it, then there should probably be some indication of that when you try to change the setting, or just block people from changing the setting at all. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
