What's more troubling is the fact that something has changed with font rendering and it's a degradation.
With identical font configuration (in the KDE Control Center), my 10.0 installation is clearly superior in an A-B comparison. This was not so under Alpha5, where they were indistinguishable.
Does anyone know what might be different in this configuration? Fonts that rendered very clearly under Alpha5 now show unmistakable artifacts that considerably reduce their legibility and attractiveness. Is it possible the hint interpreter has been disabled and the simple-minded anti-aliasing has been substituted? If so, I'll go on record saying that this is a bad idea, since the TrueType hinting is far superior to anti-aliasing.
I second the font issue... Alpha 5 had beautiful font rendering, unfortunately Beta 1 is really really bad... I even tried a brand new account to see if wiping all the settings would help and it didn't. Oh and I'm using Gnome so apparently its not limited to just one environment...
On http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-face-index-full.html I don't see a significant difference. I'm running 1400x1050 ATM on factory, 1600x1200 normally on 10.0.
