Comment 1: I have installed the patches mentioned above. (fontconfig-2.4.2-18.1.i586.rpm and fonts-config-20061025-21.1.noarch.rpm). Still, the fonts in Openoffice menus do not (!) look like the fonts in KDE. I have set the OO options to use system fonts and activated antialiasing both in OO and KDE. The fonts in OO and KDE look similar but no equal - and the smoothing quality is remarkably better in KDE applications. (From the discussion above I got the impression that this is different in Ubuntu. There the fonts in OO and in desktop applications look the same. See comment #39). I therefore cannot say that the goal of getting an equal representation of system fonts in OO as in KDE has been reached. So the only advantage of the workaround is that now the fonts are much better rendered when antialiasing is disabled in OO. The quality with OO version 2.2.1-43.1 is now exactly the same as I had it before with OO 2.0.4 in SUSE 10.1 and in my original unmodified SUSE 10.2 installation. Comment 2: I additionally installed the freetype2 package 2.3.5-8.1 from the Opensuse M17N repo. Regarding font rendering and display in OO the new version of freetype2 2.3.5 did not improve anything, unfortunately. (If I understood the discussion above correctly this was to be expected ). Another thing that hit me is that the color subpixel hinting is completely activated in KDE again after the installation of the M17N freetype2 package. I wondered why this was the case as SuSE normally does not deliver it like that anymore. As a test, I then recompiled the source code package with the following command "rpmbuild --rebuild --target x86_64 --with subpixel freetype2-2.3.5-8.1.src.rpm" and installed the resulting package. Then the options for subpixel-hinting were again different in KDE -> only the "hinting style" can be changed, but the subpixel-hinting option itself is not changeable. (Just as in my original unmodified Opensuse 10.2 installation). Strange! Another remarkable point is that one cannot reproduce the nice antialiasing the original SuSE freetype2-2.2.1 rpm delivered (with supixel-hinting only partially enabled) with the M17N freetype2-2.3.5 package and (!) with full color subpixel hinting enabled. Black letters on white background get slightly colored edges on my system (Samsung 244T TFT, Nvidia 7800 GTX card) with RGB or BGR subpixel hinting activated. However, with SuSE's 2.2.1 freetype2 package where the subpixel hinting is only partially disabled (only the hinting style can be changed) the smoothing of the letters appears to be done with gray shading and not with colors - resulting in a much better font representation on the KDE screen. Can someone elaborate on the differences? What exactly is activated in SuSE's freetype2 packages where you cannot change the subpixel option itself, but only the "hinting style"? (Changes in the hinting style produce different results, so in a way subpixel hinting does not seem to be completely inactive in version 2.2.1, but somehow reduced to smoothing with grey colors). -- 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.
