Font rendering
by Anon on Thursday 20/Mar/2008, @09:08

Not related directly to the article, but as we are talking about "polishing" KDE 4;):
On my setup, KDE3 and KDE4 have the same font settings (including antialiasing). However, while the KDE3 font rendering seems almost as good as on windows, KDE4's fonts look kind of fragile and frayed.
The screenshots in this article look definitely better than what I achieve with my KDE4 setup. What are the doing?
BTW, I'm using Tahoma and Vardana fonts, looking great both with WinXP and KDE3.

I've noticed different rendering between Qt4 and everything else too, and I've seen it mentioned here and there as well. There's a bug open at trolltech which might be relevant: http://trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?id=+195256&method=entry
