I rarely go into Best buy. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+MacBook%26%23174%3B+Pro+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i7+Processor+/+17%22+Display+/+4GB+Memory+/+750GB+Hard+Drive/1535918.p?id=1218267720296&skuId=1535918 isn't something those stores stock? 1366x768, the apparent current laptop standard, and common for desktops, is nothing but 1024x768 extended sideways, with the same minimal quality to match unless no bigger than about 13". OTOH, until you get past 17px or 18px, font's are limited to a 1px stem width without looking fat. A 1px width gives no allowance for prettifying. Tom's looks like 10px or so. There's no way to expect quality pleasing to everyone from so few pixels as is available in a 10px size or smaller. Every trick in the enhancement and selection repertoire must be tailored to each individual's hardware and preferences to expect a resemblance to decent. Otherwise, it's just hit or miss, with a lot of the latter. Obviously the settings in Fedora's section of that image are not a good match for the fonts actually used, like none at all or only light enhancement applied. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
