Public bug reported:
Problem: Fonts look very unattractive and unreadable when the resolution
is set to 1280x1024 on my particular setup. I use an LCD monitor.
Steps to reproduce:
(1) Find an LCD monitor that supports 1280x1024.
(2) Get a fresh installation of Ubuntu up and running.
(3) Change display resolution to 1024x768. The fonts at this resolution are of
acceptable quality.
(4) Change display resolution to 1280x1024. Note that the line/curve widths of
the fonts vary substantially (I don't know the proper terminology to describe
what I am seeing; I apologize), making them quite unreadable.
Comments:
(1) I do not believe my monitor is causing the problem; fonts at 1280x1024
display well on Windows XP, as well as KDE.
(2) Because KDE appears to have solved this problem, it should not be too
difficult to fix in GNOME.
