2. "Arial", "Times New Roman" and "Consolas" perform bad. For example Consolas doesn't gives me the dots above the german "Ö" when using sizes smaller then 10pt.
Aye, in addition to flaws with common european characters, Consolas is *very* heavily hinted, this makes it quite horrible sometimes using some of the default options available with the freetype version we ship, needs a patched freetype to look decent but it still displays line height poorly.
For this reason I switched to Adobe Source Sans Pro: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sourcesans.adobe/files/
I'd be more than happy to see this as the default monospace ;)
I actually agree.. I switched to the Adobe font as well for this. Looks very clean in my opinion. In case you did not see it yet, this is packaged for openSUSE for a while already (rather close to when Adobe announced them first)
In openSUSE 12.2: SourceSansPro-fonts Later: adobe-sourcesanspro-fonts
Enjoy :)
Ah good to know for future, I've got into the habbit of installing my font's to my home anyway these days. Oh the subject of Adobe, I've not had time to look at trying out latest freetype with the CFF engine donation[1] from adobe, but certainly looks promising. http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2013/05/adobe-contributes-cff-rasterizer... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
