dear all, just a short note to share with you that yesterday, while zealously playing with my spankin' new kde under pcqlinux/fedora, okay, let's make that gnu/pcqlinux/fedora, :-)
i went to the control centre, clicked on fonts, and toggled around with the settings of font anti-aliasing. oops! that just screwed up font-rendering. had to restart X, toggle settings, restart X again, toggle off settings, do random clicks of fonts and styles, and generally massage font-rendering with X reboots to get things back to normal. whew! still, am very keen to try sub-pixel rendering. for-those-who-came-in-late, sub-pixel rendering using components of red, or, green sub-pixels to make fonts looks sharper and more pleasing to the eyes with anti-aliasing. at comdex about 6 to 7 years ago, m$ claimed this to be a technological breakthrough and called it 'cleartype'. this was circa 1998. however, turns out engineer at apple had invented this system two decades ago, in the late seventies when the first apple II machines came out with color support. could someone please try out this sub-pixel rendering, especially on fonts less than 9 points, and bigger than 96 points, and share with us the results? btw, the latest kde rocks! :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
