------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-09 17:39 ------- I don't think ndeb understands what sub-pixel hinting *is*...each "pixel" on an LCD screenis actually made of three smaller elements, one each of red, green and blue. Sub-pixel hinting allows freetype to use these elements individually for hinting, which improves the font rendering. It can't possibly work on a CRT because, er, CRTs don't have sub-pixels, that's not how they work. There's no way you can be getting benefit from sub-pixel hinting on a CRT. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: Using mdk-9.1rc1. In kcontrol->fonts, enable anti-aliasing. Then enable sub-pixel hinting. Click apply and quit kcontrol. Start kcontrol again. Go to fonts and find that the option sub-pixel hinting has become unchecked !! I tried several times but kcontrol always reverts to the option unchecked.
