To help explain how this actually looks (without xzoom), here is a close-up of the same image from a camera. The top line is the default ubuntu blurry font behavior, and the bottom line uses Johan's fix.
Note the shapes of letters "dy/+" near the right side. In the top image, the "d" and "+" actually have two vertical lines each and the diagonals in "y" and "/" look more like disconnected vertical columns than like diagonal lines. ** Attachment added: "camera macro shot" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24736908/blurry-sharp-fonts.camera.jpg -- 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
