Font display in Linux

Name: Anonymous 2007-01-03 22:56

Noob here.  What's the deal with how the fonts looks in Linux?  It's all blurry...

Name: Anonymous 2007-01-03 23:02

in Linux?  please elaborate further.  Linux is an OS, not a font rendering library.

Actually it's a kernel, dumbass.

Blurry? Depends on your monitor. Are you used to horribly aliased Windows fonts? That could be your problem.

Frankly, Linux distros could use MUCH better font anti-aliasing, but there are some patches out there that you can install that will make them pretty damn close to how OS X smooths its fonts. Unfortunately, those patches contain some possibly patented code, so it's technically illegal. But, who the fuck cares about that shit...

....which explains why a lot more people don't use it, as choosing a particular distro of it is like entering a fucking lottery, not at all helped by the rabid fanboys screaming that their chosen version is the only way to go, noob.

IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT USING BITSTREAM VERA

EVERY FONT SHOULD BE BITSTREAM VERA

BITSTREAM VERA IS THE FUTURE
