Just noticed this bug again, now in System Settings. On Unity7 it's perfectly clear (sub-pixel RGB) but in Unity8 it's slightly blurry (greyscale is used). So that's the first part of the problem.
The second part of the problem is that Unity8 (especially in the indicator pulldown) failing to apply a nice hinting setting to make the glyph curves aligned to pixel boundaries more often. So a glyph that should be represented as one pixel thickness is rendered as two half pixels in greyscale, which is ugly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1536751 Title: Font/text rendering is irregular and not pixel-aligned on low DPI screens To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qtmir/+bug/1536751/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
