I use verdana both in gnu/linux and win98 and I find that the result is much better in the former than the latter. (!) Could be that "X" lets you do more in the way of tweaking than Windows does (?) Or do more recent versions of Windows do a better job of displaying fonts? But then I suppose it mostly depends on what you are looking for.. The way I have set up my fonts, Verdana 8 pts on my laptop with a display capable of roughly 116 dpi and no AA looks good to me. Larger fonts of course do not look so good. > It's the other way round with the Bitstream Vera font family (although > not that bad). > What I don't like about Bitstream Vera is that some glyphs look like someone messed up before the ink had time to dry.
