I have tried installing trisquel on the desktop and I must say it is working
good. It is true that font rendering has a very great impact on the system
performance and it wholly depends on it. Trisquel definitely solves the
issue.microsoft-chat.com
In 6.0 the fonts settings are a bit different. Now I do:
cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
sudo rm --verbose 01-trisquel.conf
sudo rm --verbose 59-droid-serif-fonts.conf
sudo rm --verbose 60-droid-sans-mono-fonts.conf
sudo rm --verbose 10-hinting-slight.conf
sudo ln --verbose --symbolic
The problem is with your setup, probably due to setting something that
interferers with the options I proposed. On my system the fonts are
perfectly anti-aliased and crisp.
Mint is spyware free... as long as you don't use Google Chrome, or Adobe
Flash, or Skype, or possibly other nonfree programs.
Of course, note that Mint is not an Ubuntu clone, either. Actually, if it's

Anytime I install Trisquel from scratch, I increase the font size and do RGB
instead of greyscale. It looks better and I have no idea why these aren't set
like this by default.
I also switched from Droid Sans to Roboto:

Can I ask you if you managed to replicate ubuntu fonts exatly?
Because I've copied the font settings from gnome-tweak-tool on Ubuntu to
gnome-tweak-tool on Trisquel and still it does not look the same.
It's important for me that it looks exactly the same: I've been using the
exact same font
I assume you're talking about the menus, in which case the font size is too
small. Maybe the text scaling factor?
If you're actually talking about the body, it looks to me like the difference
in that is a (cyan-colored) shadow effect of some sort that is toward the top

I always put the following into .Xresources and my fonts look perfect no
matter in Trisquel, Debian or whatever. Supposedly, these settings are what
Ubuntu uses:
!{{{XFT
Xft*dpi: 96
Xft*antialias: true
Xft*hinting: true
Xft*hintstyle: hintslight
Xft*rgba: rgb
Xft.lcdfilter:
What I do on new installations is:
cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
sudo rm --verbose 01-trisquel.conf
sudo rm --verbose 59-ttf-droid-serif-fonts.conf
sudo rm --verbose 10-hinting-slight.conf
sudo ln --symbolic ../conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf
sudo ln --symbolic ../conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf
cd
Surely, Trisquel would benefit from at least an increase of the fonts' size
and antialiasing being set to RGBA. With Ubuntu fonts it would be even
better. But it's my perception.
Fonts issue is quite personal. May be some people like what is by default.
Font rendering has a great impact on system performance.
A high font rendering is a bad option for a low spec pc. That's why distros
like debian have a poor rendering by default.
Trisquel tries to achieve a balance point between a good look and feel and
system performance.
I have two questions:
1) Are there measurements about font rendering impact on system performance?
Is it for sure that trisquel has better performance than ubuntu?
2) Is trisquel targeting for different hardware specs than ubuntu?
However, the fonts font rendering seems to be not that good, especially
when I compare to font font rendering on ubuntu desktop.
Since Trisquel is Ubuntu without the proprietary parts, the fonts rendering
of the fonts is likely identical. :)
I did a bit of tweaking:
- Installed ttf-ubuntu-font-family package
- Used gnome-tweak-tool to 1) set fonts to ubuntu fonts, 2) set antialiasing
to rgba
- Used dconf-editor to set nautilus desktop to use ubuntu mono font
Now the fonts on my trisquel desktop look very clean and nice. Thanks
Maybe you need to install better fonts,
http://packages.trisquel.info/search?keywords=ttf- lists some.
There are various hinting-related options of fontconfig that change how
the fonts look, your DE probably has settings for it (or look in
/etc/fonts).
Maybe you have some screenshots to compare
