https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=232466 Summary: Fonts look really bad - standard fixes don't work Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: opublic@dains.org QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com The fonts on my machine look horrible (much worse than they did in openSuSE 10.0). I've tried all the "standard" fixes including: - installing MS TrueType fonts - changing /etc/fonts/suse-post-user.conf adding aliases from serif/sans serif to good fonts - adjusted the anti-aliasing settings via kcontrol, ~/.fonts.conf, etc/fonts/suse-post-user.conf, changing BYTECODE_BW_MAX_PIXEL settings via yast's /etc/sysconfig editor (currently set to 18), and tweaking with the nvidia driver settings - Downgrading and then re-upgrading the nvidia drivers - changing hinting settings in ~/.fonts.conf and in kcontrol - following the directions at http://en.opensuse.org/Optimal_Use_of_MS_TrueType_Core_Fonts_for_a_KDE_Deskt... - a bunch more stuff I can't even remember anymore. I've attached a bunch of screen shots so you can see what I mean. One strange thing that may provide a hint: the fonts don't look great in the screen shots, but they look a bit better than the actual fonts - in other words, if I grab a screen shot, save it and then open it and compare the image to the actual window I just took a screen shot of, the image looks a bit better than the original (for example the "G" in the eGroupware bookmark in my bookmarks toolbar on my Firefox screen shot looks cleaner than the image on my screen). How can that be? I'm stumped.
