[opensuse] Font display irregularity in openSUSE 11.1

29 Aug 2009

      Not sure if this is only on my system (though I have seen the same
problem in other screenshots of openSUSE on the web as well); but the
fonts display in openSUSE are irregular. This font 'bleed' is there
only in openSUSE, as I also have Ubuntu 9.04 also installed on the
same system, and the fonts are clear (without any sort of distortion)
in Ubuntu.

Fonts in Ubuntu 9.04: [1] (same webpage in both images)
Fonts in openSUSE :  [2]

Both above images are from the GNOME desktop, which I use as the
default for both Linux  versions. The font/ display settings ([3] &
[4]) are also same for both Linux installs.

Hardware details are as follows (nVidia Driver is same for both the installs):

- Monitor: LG L177WSB @ native res of 1440 X 900
- Gfx Card: nVidia GeForce 8500GT 512 MB
- Driver: nVidia 185.18.31

Any suggestions how I can improve display in openSUSE 11.1 ?

Thanks,

Jay

PS:
To render comparability between the images, I suggest viewing them at
the same zoom;  View > Normal or select 'Normal' from the main toolbar
in 'Eye of GNOME', that should give the default zoom of 100%.
