Thanks for the link to Johan's fix. The default font blur drives me crazy... makes me feel like my monitor is miscalibrated or I have dirt in my eyes.
Maybe the bug is considered a feature for black text on a white background, but it causes problems when other colors are used. For example, I've attached a picture of white text on a blue background. The top line is the default in ubuntu 8.10, and the bottom line is with Johan's fix applied. By default, the letters aren't even a consistent color. Could the new behavior be disabled except for specific cases? It seems like it should work for black/white or white/black text with font sizes larger than 12pt, but it seems to make everything else harder to read. ** Attachment added: "top: default ubuntu 8.10, bottom: fixed" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24736724/blurry-sharp-fonts.png -- fonts are blurred with subpixel rendering https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
