Has Fedora finally gotten good font rendering in its 27th release or have I become used to the piss poor fonts on my Windows work computer?

Also what's with the open-source community and their complete disregard for design that is only surpassed by Microsoft? Economy cars look like Batmobiles in this decade. Why do window decorations look like a monochrome interface from the 90s?

Looks like the same old blurry smudgefest that Linux has always been known for.

The Linux kernel itself is handling font rendering now? It seems strange that they wouldn't use something like Freetype.

Linux itself does very basic font rendering.

Did freetards never get proper subpixel rendering or is that Fedora being afraid of MS's patents?

It's been in X.org for many years. You can configure it any number of ways too, so it's tuned for your display, unlike with Windows or even MacOS.


 No.823989

Font rendering is all dependent on the client in Fedora.

Except for the shell. I assume you're using wayland.

>>822636

The patents expire in 2019.

Not in that image it's not.

Change your alias settings. Hinting should never be set to beyond Slight.

Asian fonts don't need AA, is their a way to disable AA just for those?

That picture is really misleading tbh. None of the image viewers can reproduce the subpixel antialiasing effect from a png image.
