I am using SuSE 8.2 and have a problem with font rendering: On this machine, Redmond 2000 is running with nice font rendering, using Tahoma 8, on 1024x768, on a 15 inch LCD. Event with Anti-Aliasing off the font is well to read. I then installed SuSE 8.2 and imported the font Tahoma from the Windows partition. It is rendered very ugly, in a kind of "asymmetry": - E. g. the "X" is cryppled: The left arms and legs are too short, the right ones are too long. - Some character combinations have no more space between which makes it a "black hole", others have large blank space which did not appear on Windows. All in all, it is nearly unreadable. I tried switching Anti Aliasing on/off, no change: The chars are getting "smoother", but the problems still are there. Also the "intra-pixel" option was no help. dpi setting of X is correct (85). font change from 75 to 100 dpi was no help. The strange thing is: It's getting better when I switch to Tahoma 9! Still some single characters are strange (e. g. the T bar on the T character is three pixels to the left, but only two to the right), but it is far better readable. Unfortunately, with 1 pixel larger characters, the screen doesn't contain as much information as I want. Tried other fonts, same problem: It seems to be a mathematical problem in X which is not font related, but occures in X while not in Windows. :-( HELP! Why does X render such ugly, while Redmond does fine...?! _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
