Which still leads me to be really suspicious of the monitor itself... ie not the software or the video card.. but I could be wrong.
One last grasp at a possible solution... have you tried turning on full subpixel rendering?
No, I haven't tried that. How is it done?
I don't know the Gnome (or other DE) paths, but in KDE4, it's in a pretty logical place... go to: KMenu > Configure Desktop > Appearance > Fonts > Use anti-aliasing Set to Enabled Click Configure and make sure Use sub-pixel rendering is checked. I've got my system set up with Hinting style set to Full. Some people get better results at one of the other settings (eg medium)
This will only affect newly started apps... so I usually log out of KDE and back in after setting this option.
Does it make a difference? I can certainly see a difference on my monitor with this option set to Disabled vs Enabled.
C. Hi, At native resolution I set anti-aliasing to enabled, sub-pixel rendering is checked, and hinting set to full. It made a little difference, but not much. I played around with the hinting, and found that I have a good screen and fonts with hinting set to none. I think this is fixed for now on 11.2 & 11.1 on this computer. I have to do it for WinXp and Elive yet, but I am on to the solution so I believe it will be resolved in short order there too.
