I've installed openSUSE 11.2 w. GNOME to give it a try. I enabled fonts "Subpixel smoothing" and set it to "slight" in Appearance applet. This gave me quite nice system, documents and application fonts.
Everything looks fine except Firefox.
Firefox application fonts are ugly. And they do not change no matter what my system settings/fonts are.
Firefox page rendering fonts are even worse. Changing fonts in Firefox preferences from default to any other available (including MS) fonts does not provide any significant improvement.
I'm not having such trouble in Ubuntu.
Googled it half a day without much result. Any suggestions, please?
"Ugly" WRT fonts is in the eye of the beholder.
I absolutely agree with this. Most of times it is very subjective.
This is why the subject in essence reads: "system fonts vs. FF fonts".
Thus I was actually saying:
"With my current "Subpixel smoothing" settings my eyes are very comfortable with fonts system-wise but the VERY SAME eyes are NOT comfortable with Firefox fonts".
I.e., while anti-aliasing works perfectly system-wise, it is completely ignored by Firefox. [...]
Are you using KDE? KDE3 or KDE4? In KDE4, go to Personal Settings (Configure Desktop) -> Appearance -> GTK Styles and Fonts and either explicitly set the fond to be used or select "Use my KDE fonts in GTK applications". Previously in KDE3 you had to install an additional package to achieve the same (but I can't remember what it was called). -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
