TheUsualAlex Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Hey, Considering that Linux's font rendering could use improvement, does anyone have any experience as to how good Linux's font rendering is when it comes to an LCD monitor? (XP's ClearType is really good on LCD as far as I have heard) Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Linux font rendering not good? I mean, since you care quite about it, haven't you seen recent screenshots of GNOME/KDE (3.0)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguel m Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 hey Alex. I'm nnot 100% sure but I think it totally depends on your graphics card and drivers. I believe xfree can do very nice things with fonts, also use true type ones. But I'd say it's completely up to the driver to use any antialiasing, etc. I've seen the antialiasing options in kde, but something suggests me that it drains cpu for that and isn't hardware accelerated at all. Of course I may be completely wrong. Fonts stuff is a rather dark topic for me, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
