I would say this is a problem with the hinting settings. Make sure you're using high quality (TTF) fonts, for example Bitstream, DejaVu or Microsoft fonts (msttcorefonts-package). In some cases it's better to choose "Autohinter" instead of "native", you have to experiment a bit if you're not satisfied with "native". Now check if hinting is activated in gnome, the best option is "full". Also make sure sub-hinting is activated an the right color-order is set (take a magnifier to find out which order is the right one for your display, in most cases it is RGB). To take effect on all changes save all of your opened documents, close the apllications and press [ctrl]+[alt]+[backspace] to restart the x-server.
There is an additional patch to improve hinting: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343670 If you use Firefox as your web browser make sure "font.Freetype2.autohinted" and "font.Freetype2.enable" are set to "true". You can achieve this by tipping "abou:config" in the adress field and doble click on these entries if they are set to "false". I don't think your problem is a bug but misconfiguration. So try out these steps, I hope they will help you. -- Font quality is poor when resolution is set to 1280x1024 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121903 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
