Ubuntu Gutsy Sub-pixel font changes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I run Ubuntu and Fedora on my PC's with Gnome and I am aware that something has been tweaked in Gutsy to improve the sub-pixel font rendering on LCD displays. On all of my PC's Ubuntu fonts are far better (for my eyes anyway) than Fedora 7/8; even the default setting of best shapes medium looks better than Fedora, but even better still when I enable Sub-pixel.

What I would like to do is replicate the font rendering on Fedora to be as good as Gutsy, but I have searched around and not been able to find out _exactly_ what the Ubuntu team have done to achieve these results.

As much as I play with the settings on Fedora, the still looks rubbish. Especially worse in Thunderbird and Firefox (menus, dialogs, mails and webpages)

Can anyone help?

Thanks
