Comment #4 on issue 18333 by y.yanbe: Embedded bitmap font is primarily used for rendering Japanese texts instead of anti-aliased one http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18333
Because /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf is enabled on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid by default, applications except for Chromium doesn't using bitmap fonts. In my opinion, this behavior implies that WebKit on Linux interprets fontconfig settings differently. I'm remembering that my Firefox 3 on Ubuntu had been behaved similarly; when Arial or Helvetica is specified on stylesheet, Firefox rendered it with bitmap fonts even if they are disabled by fontconfig above. But, Firefox was started to use anti-aliased font after I installed "msttcorefonts" package ( http://packages.ubunut.com/en/intrepid/msttcorefonts ) which includes Arial TrueType font. However, Chromium didn't emulate this behavior. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
