As with bug 945608, we appear to be drawing menu entries on something that pango/cairo don't want to draw antialiased fonts. By adding gtk_render_background I am now able to get the proper font rendering in both Ambiance and Radiance, however it does not play well with the fading in/out of the title/menubar - some flickering occurs.
This patch is against unity 5.18 in Precise. My PPA ( https://launchpad.net/~rye/+archive/ppa ) will have this test build shortly for those who want to see how a panel should have looked with a Radiance theme. ** Patch added: "draw_background.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/723167/+attachment/3503026/+files/draw_background.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/723167 Title: Panel does not use standard GTK/Pango font rendering/antialiasing, causing fuzzy fonts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/723167/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
