Hi List,

Jon suggests to change hintstyle property to 'hintslight' in /etc/fonts/suse-hinting.conf, however comment in the same file reads

<!--     Using hinting=true, hintstyle=hintfull and antialias=true     is a good default for most fonts.     ... -->

I think it is matter of taste and as such should be discussed here, so your comments and observations are welcome and any help with testing appreciated.

I personally like this (system default) change, I found many fonts improved from my POV. See two examples attached (left hintfull, right hintslight).

Well, it's really a matter of taste.  For example, I prefer hintfull even in your examples since hintslight looks too blur.

There are fonts that don't suit with hintfull, indeed.  But it's a different question whether to switch to the default for all.

In my particular case, I noted that 'hintfull' and 'hintmedium' didn't do any hinting /at all/. 'konsole' is really good at showing the effects. I can show screenshots if I need to.

And hintslight does anything? Then something must be wrong. Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
