I agree about the déjà vu font, I was using the déjà vu condensed, it was looking great but then it did not work in java swing applications.
I haven’t tried that. Why not? What happens?
I will subscribe to the opensuse gnome list to since the defaults are obviously being reconsidered for 11.1. I fully understand that fonts are like colors and each user do have a preference, but the default is IMO far from the experience with "reasonable defaults" in other OSes - my preference being to vista with their new cleartype.
Cleartype (called "subpixel hinting" on Linux) is a bit of a problem for two reasons - not compiled into freetype2 by default - even if it is compiled into freetype2, it doesn’t look nice because no gamma correction is done (Windows does this). You can test the effect of gamma correction with ftview 20 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans.ttf Then press F1 for help, switch on subpixel hinting (you need a freetype2 package with subpixel hinting enabled) and change the gamma correction to 2.1. Then it almost looks like the rendering on Windows. But gamma correction is currently only implemented in the demo and test tool ftview, it is not yet implemented in applications like Gnome/KDE/... Maybe it could be implemented in the freetype2 library directly to avoid the need of having it to implement in every single application again. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 I � Unicode --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
