Hi, here is a link to a snapshot I took of the way fonts are displayed on my screen. I am a little disappointed with it because as I look at the screenshot it looks better than what I see on my desktop. The fonts on my desktop are more chopped up, but I hope it will give you an idea of what I am trying to fix. If it doesn't work to convey that idea, let me know and I will try something else.
This link shows the desktop at native resolution (1366X768, VGA)

Here is a screenshot showing the same view at a different resolution (1280x720). Hopefully you can pick out the improvement in font rendering quality.
Hmmmm... I cannot see any difference at all between the two. I opened the screencaps in two different tabs in Firefox, and then quickly switched back and forth between them... they look identical to my eyes... I also opened in Gwenview and in Gimp and.. still the same. The problem with screen caps is they show the screen as it was sent to your video card/monitor, not necessarily what was actually displayed on the monitor. Is your monitor a TFT? Are you running it in analog mode (traditional VGA) or using DVI? What vid card? Open source or proprietary drivers? I'm just guessing here, but I'd say that openSUSE's font rendering is not at fault, but that it's more likely something to do with your monitor, or the drivers, or.... something like that.
