Title:
gnome-shell doesn't support subpixel smoothing
Status in GNOME Shell:
New
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Currently Gnome Shell does not support LCD font smoothing and now the
shell's fonts looks terrible. It is said in gnome-shell's sources that
the reason is "clutter doesn't currently have the code to support ARGB
masks". I don't know what the problem is, but I wrote a simple patch
that implements subpixel antialiasing in gnome-shell. And it works
fine for me. After testing it for about 2 weeks I don't see any
problems with it.
