instead use the Fonts settings in KDE's System Settings panel (under Look & Feel -> Appearance).
I tried ALL options I found in that section. - Go to Configure Desktop > Appearance > Fonts - Set Use anti-aliasing to Enabled - Click Configure - Check Use sub-pixel rendering and set Hinting style to Full
This may have produced a minor increase in sharpness of the characters associated with icons etc. YET, if I were ever be able to actually work with Linux, I would not stare 10 hours a day at icons, but at the text area of word processors, spread sheets, browsers, dictionaries etc. As far as I can tell NOTHING in the display has changed here. Fonts using alphabet are somewhat better, but all fonts Linux installed when I added a secondary language (here Japanese) are simply blurred.
Does that mean that it is under Linux not possible to produce a clear, sharp rendering of the text on the screen? If that is so, does EVERYBODY (except me) finds this normal and acceptable? Somehow I prefer to think, that is not the case and there must be some way to achieve a "clear picture" ....
I have to a certain extent being watching this thread and can honestly say i can see no difference between font rendering between Linux and that M$ Corp infestation called windows are you sure you do not have a problem with hardware somewhere along the line , Or are you getting all in a tis because you are an Ex mac user as they always seem to find fault with everything non Mac personally it's the other way round i can never find anything Right with an of the MAC range Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 2 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.30-rc6-git3-4- default KDE: 4.2.86 (KDE 4.2.86 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090514)) "release 1" 15:18 up 13 days 5:08, 4 users, load average: 0.81, 0.58, 0.50
