Re: [Trisquel-users] Re : Fonts Font rendering
Thanks a lot for stating the obvious. That doesn't solve my problem with the fonts though. I'll try again with different desktops when the official 6.0 comes out. If it doesn't work, I'll just go with Mint. Hopefully it's spyware free. On Sat, Mar 2, 2013 at 10:58 PM, magicban...@gmail.com wrote: Ubuntu-based is different from Ubuntu-like. I am pretty sure you have noticed that, for instance, no Trisquel edition uses Unity as a desktop. Trisquel is Ubuntu-based because almost all its packages are directly copied from Ubuntu's main and universe repositories. However the developers choose the packages in Trisquel's default system without really taking into account Ubuntu's defaults. As a consequence, it is not Ubuntu-like.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Re : Fonts Font rendering
You misunderstand. Ubuntu-based for me means just access to a ton packages via apt. I don't care about desktop environments/software centers/settings panels. All I need is an Emacs window on one half of the screen and abrowser on the other half. But I'm used to a standard in font antialiasing that Ubuntu (and probably most popular distributions) has been providing for at least 3 years now. And for some strange reason Trisquel does not provide this standard. Was the antialiasing algorithm in Ubuntu non-free?

Here is what you wrote: You know how I got enthusiastic about Trisquel: I browsed the list of free distros and selected the one labeled Ubuntu-based. And it doesn't qualify for me as Ubuntu-like
