This may have produced a minor increase in sharpness of the characters associated with icons etc. YET, if I were ever be able to actually work with Linux, I would not stare 10 hours a day at icons, but at the text area of word processors, spread sheets, browsers, dictionaries etc. As far as I can tell NOTHING in the display has changed here. Fonts using alphabet are somewhat better, but all fonts Linux installed when I added a secondary language (here Japanese) are simply blurred.
Does that mean that it is under Linux not possible to produce a clear, sharp rendering of the text on the screen? If that is so, does EVERYBODY (except me) finds this normal and acceptable? Somehow I prefer to think, that is not the case and there must be some way to achieve a "clear picture" ....
What type of monitor are you using? Is it an LCD? What is its native resolution? What resolution are you running your Linux desktop at? If you're not running at the native resolution of the LCD screen, no amount of fiddling will produced the sharpest display possible... -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
