Summary: VIEWING: Bad Font Rendering in KDE
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified

Status: UNCONFIRMED

Sample screenshots
Problem description:
LibreOffice 3.5 improved the font rendering performance in Linux, which was
very good for writers. But however, it has only effects GNOME and Unity, KDE
has still not performing as good as Windows, Gnome or Unity.
I take screenshots from a native Unity installation and Kubuntu installation. I
checked it in Debian too.
The problem is, in normal view and normal font hinting KDE renders fonts badly,
not smooth, when you zoom out to %110 the fonts changes like they are bold.
Some ppl advises to use Thin font hinting, i also tried it, not better as GNOME
too, and as it is blurry, it causes headaches also if you have astigmatic, it
is nightmare for you.
Somehow font rendering in GNOME seems like native, no distortions, and no
change in zoom in/out.
It will be very nice to have that font rendering performance in KDE.
Having beautiful looking fonts makes good feeling when writing, but working
with some pre-historic java style fonts does not give that feel.
The sample document is made just different font lines, working with block text
and reading it look worse.
Current behavior:
Font rendering performance is not good
Expected behavior:
Having a better font rendering in KDE.
Note: The screenshot app in Ubuntu-Unity was not good as Kscreenshot, it seems
like blurry, but it was smooth, sharp and cleaner in real.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 3.6.3.2 release
