Package: libfreetype6 Version: 2.1.10-1 Severity: important
Hello, I use kde and disabled anti aliasing cause it makes me tired very fast. I choose the verdana font from the msttfont package with a police size of 12. The resulst is that the font is badly rendered most probably because glyph hinting is ignored. My desktop use a 96dpi resolution. To check what's happening exactly, install msttcorefonts package, and the freetype2-demos package. Under x window: $ ftview -r 96 12 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/verdana.ttf You should get a view of verdana font rendered with antialiasing wich looks quite good. Now disable antialiasing by pressing 'a'. The font should looks like it looks under microsoft windows : clean. Ignore glyph hinting by pressing 'h', you now have the actual rendering I got in kde. Needless to say it's very bad looking. Press 'a' again to reactivate antialiasing and you will get an acceptable rendering. I posted screenshots on http://hash4r.free.fr/debianfonts/ that should explain it all. The same stuff happen with gnome / other truetype fonts / monospace font etc .. I am actually forced to use antialiasing to get some decent looking fonts and really would like to disable AA. I am on irc.freenode.net as 'hashar' if you need testing :) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (99, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-k7 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libfreetype6 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime libfreetype6 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
