I am trying out Kubuntu 13.04 x64 (KDE 4.10.3) and the issue is still present.
(This bug has been around for a while; I had actually switched away from KDE in 2011 because of it!!!) I tried restarting Kwin per comment #27, and that seems to at least pick up my selected font style when displaying the minimized windows in the taskbar and Kicker. However, the fonts in Kicker still seem "pixlilated" and choppy even though the fonts in applications (Konqueror, Kate, Konsole, etc.) are correctly applying the "full" font hinting, as I have selected. Does anyone know the actuall process that is used to render fonts in Plasma widgets? If comment #24 is accurate, and fonts are indeed rendered as images 1st, then this bug may be a clallenge to resolve: it would entail changing the basic plasma framework. Any thoughts? I'd really like to resolve this years old bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/921555 Title: Plasma panel and menu don't follow font hinting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase-workspace/+bug/921555/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
