https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=413337 Summary: Inconsitent font rendering KDE3/KDE4/GNOME/OO/PDF Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.pfaller@gmail.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Customer Created an attachment (id=230872) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=230872) Font rendering samples I have previously mainly used 10.2 and the font rendering has been consistent and excellent (except for OpenOffice and the PDF readers). However with 11.0 we now have KDE3, KDE4 and GNOME differences (in addition to OpenOffice and the PDF readers). See the attached sample which shows rendering of a selection of apps and was obtained with a subpixel enabled truetype and a rebuild of libqt4 (so that it actually uses subpixel rendering). Not visible in this sample is the linespacing which also seems to be different between KDE4 apps and everything else (about 1 or 2 additional pixels per line depending on app). While what is considered nice rendering is obviously depended on personal taste and the used monitors (and therefore should be easily adjustable by the user) I consider the inconsistent rendering with identical settings a bug. Personally I strongly prefer the KDE3/firefox2 rendering (which seems to be like 10.2) on three out of the four TFTs I regularly use. KDE4 looks too gray and GNOME/Firefox3 too thin. The PDF readers and OpenOffice rendering is too fuzzy. -- 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.
