https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229207 Summary: Inconsistent text rendering with different DPIs and hinting Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: clint@traveljury.com QAContact: qa@suse.de I have a laptop with an Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS card and an SEC GH874 17" monitor. I'm using the Gnome desktop with the Nvidia driver. The detected DPI is 132, which is correctly set, but the text displays too large. I've fiddled around with the DPI and hinting settings, and I get weird results. There seems to be a big change between 125 dpi and 126, where the text suddenly gets a lot bigger. And the hinting is weird - on 125dpi, going from no hinting to full makes the text finer, while on 126dpi, going from no hinting to full makes the text bolder. Also, firefox doesn't take any notice of the hinting (in the toolbars etc, rather then the document), so on 125 dpi, the font is fine, and on 126, really bold. I'm attaching screenshots comparing the different settings - apologies for the size... Also, because so many websites use font-sizes in px, most text in websites is unreadable unless I set a minimum text size, in which case, the sites don't display properly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
