[Bug 41411] Re: Fonts are mapped to ugly fonts (which also causes problems with OOo)
Of course if Helvetica isn’t installed, it has to be mapped to Nimbus Sans, because Nimus Sans is a clone of Helvetica etc. Font rendering doesn’t seem to be well configured on your machine (respecitvely in the application from which you’ve taken the screenshot). Maybe the hinting is too strong. I attached a better-looking screenshot of Nimbus Sans in small size. ** Attachment added: Nimbus Sans screenshot http://launchpadlibrarian.net/41284630/Nimbus_Sans -- Fonts are mapped to ugly fonts (which also causes problems with OOo) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Here are screenshot of your Nimbus Sans page in Konqueror 4.4.1, one without and one with light hinting. ** Attachment added: Nimbus_Sans_Konqueror.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/41294297/Nimbus_Sans_Konqueror.png ** Attachment added: Nimbus_Sans_Konqueror_hinted.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/41294298/Nimbus_Sans_Konqueror_hinted.png -- Fonts are mapped to ugly fonts (which also causes problems with OOo) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 209358] Re: fonts in Qt4 look ugly because it uses Nimbus Sans L instead of Deja Vu Sans for Sans-Serif
I’m trying KDE 4 these days and I was surprised to see everything in Helvetica (Nimbus Sans). It had adopted the font settings of KDE 3 which demand a sans serif generically, fontconfig resolves “Sans Serif” to “Lucida Sans”, as “fc-match” shows, but Qt 4 (KDE 4) anyway uses Helvetica for generic sans serif. That hardcoded substitution in Qt 4 is really annoying. I’m really using the flexible fontconfig configuration framework, but Qt 4 breaks it, demanding much higher efforts in configuring applications to my wishes. That is a question of standard compliance. I’m going to contact Qt Software (formerly known as Trolltech). -- fonts in Qt4 look ugly because it uses Nimbus Sans L instead of Deja Vu Sans for Sans-Serif https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209358 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
