Feature changed by: Melvin Jose (melvinjose) Feature #312694, revision 8 Title: Font Rendering esp. KDE openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Melvin Jose (melvinjose) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Improve the font rendering on opensuse especially on KDE. Bring it upto the standards of ubuntu at least. Discussion: #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2011-08-06 21:30:08) Too vaguely formulated. What exactly is bad? (And I think the directional vector has a sign error in your request.) #4: Melvin Jose (melvinjose) (2011-08-10 04:38:02) (reply to #1) I just wanted to keep it short. Infact the font rendering with all the fonts provided in opensuse 11.3 used to be very distorted on the KDE environment (found GNOME's better). I resolved it by copying the font 'ubuntu' from an ubuntu 10.10 system (fonts look beautiful enough on them) and also installing subpixel hinting enabled freetype2 packages. Now it looks very decent. Why can't we have that by default as the associated patents have expired. #2: Joseph Mitzen (duncreg) (2011-08-06 21:35:31) What exactly is wrong with openSUSE KDE font rendering? #3: Diogo Piçarra (xpetept) (2011-08-08 04:24:05) I think he means that should be used a better default font. If that's what he means i agree with that. + #5: Melvin Jose (melvinjose) (2011-08-10 04:42:09) + Agree with Diogo Piçarra. The default fonts aren't upto the mark. Its + all text that interface a machine not voice. So if that look fuzzy its + a serious concern (I have serious eye-strain when i work on my + opensuse. Please go through the reply I have posted to Jan Engelhardt + for details. + Thanks guys.. lets together make this better.. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312694
