I noticed some strange rendering problems with fonts with FC5T3. Maybe others can confirm what I am seeing. The problems are more evident with font used by Anaconda, which should be Nimbus Sans. First of all, kerning is wrong around characters (glyps) that are underlined, e.g. menu or button keyboard shortcuts. At the end of the installation, the "Reboot" button appears. The 't' is underlined so that Alt+T will trigger the button. The spacing between the 't' and the 'o' preceding it is wrong; the two letters touch when they really shouldn't. This is what I remember from memory, it might not be the 't' that is actually underlined, but you get the point. You can easily see the problem elsewhere. Then, there seems to be medium hinting enabled, which makes text render poorly. I've also seen this in a screenshot that Jeremy had on his blog several months ago. It looks like there's poor grid fitting or something close to that. Not only glyphs are uneven, the kerning is negatively affected, too (check out 'width' in the 'Fixed width font' string). If antialiasing is enabled, it appears to me that selecting 'None' for the Hinting setting in the Font rendering details results in more legible text. Unlike the other problem, though, this might be due to the fact that I updated the box from FC4 and might have older settings left around, so I'd welcome any confirmations that this is reproducible. Just switch to Nimbus Sans L as the Application font and toggle back and forth between 'None' and 'Medium' hinting in the advanced font preferences window. Is there a reason for defaulting to Medium given the fonts available today? -- Rudi -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
