I've been able to verify that Chromium does not use RENDER acceleration for antialiased fonts for web content; I asked one of the developers. That would seem to explain why it doesn't show up for Chromium web content (as stated in my previous comment).
I believe this is a bug in EXA RENDER acceleration on the Radeon RV100. >From https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/radeon-change-xaa-to-exa : "Extra efforts should be put into getting EXA issues forwarded upstream." ... I'm hoping my hunches/semi-educated guesses here fall under "extra efforts". Cf: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2006-July/016661.html -- this sounds like the same issue. Note that "Despite the name (rv200), [the Radeon 7500 is] r100 based." (http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon#head- 9161ac9470497d94f1a4f79794697347b20d5170). That report is from 2006. I could swear I was looking at a blog post on the commit of EXA RENDER accel support for Radeon the week before last, but I cannot find it now. I'll keep poking; it seems RV200 and RV100 and programmatically similar, and I'd like to ask if it was ever tested on RV100. -- Bad pixels & other artifacts on fonts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
