https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=251157 ------- Comment #21 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-04-27 03:04 MST ------- mboman> I honestly can't believe that we are seeing the same thing mboman> when it comes to what we currently are shipping. Well, I looked at your screenshot and in my opinion the fonts under the desktop icons are perfect in your screenshot. And I think we both are looking at the screen shot using an LCD monitor. The fonts are designed to look like that. mboman> When it comes to using Bold for the Desktop font, I agree that mboman> it is not what we want. mboman> I *do* want something in between though. Is that possible to mboman> achieve somehow or would I have to change font? The autohinter=true setting I wrote in comment #6 might suite your preferences better. But I certainly don't want to make that the default either, most people like the byte code rendering much better (me included). Rendering with autohinting was the default until SuSE Linux 10.1. One reason I changed it was that the developers of the DejaVu fonts had told me that it is stupid not to use the byte code interpreter when they have invested hours of work per glyphs to make the fonts render very sharp, keeping the legs of an 'm' symmetrical, etc. ... Not using the byte code interpreter throws all this work away. I think they are right. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
