Re: Default fonts in Fedora

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



Perhaps someone could put together some comparisong screenshots? Side-by-side system fonts would be helpful for comparison.

I'd do it myself, but it will take me a few days to get to it - hopefully someone will beat me to it.

Hi

Owen Taylor told (on the fedora-devel-list) that the Luxi/Nimbus fonts
were the default for aesthetics reasons. I'd like to know what you think
are the best fonts for the Fedora desktop. Is it Vera ? Nimbus/Luxi ?
Any other free font ?



I have a 17" 1280x1024 LCD display (Hyundai Q17), I use size 9 Bitstream Vera Sans with subpixel smoothing, everything
else looks worse (and I've tried lots of fonts, that's easy now
that most apps just redraw themselves when you click :).


At size 9 Sans on my screen, I don't honestly see how anyone could say
Nimbus or Luxi look better, just look at the "e" letter, but may be
something is wrong with my settings.
