What font does /prog/ use?

Of course. Linux doesn't do font rendering.

That's right. Linux can't draw text to the screen. Everyone who uses it types blindly and just hopes to get the result they want. If you see a screenshot of Linux with text in it, it was photoshopped in later on a Windows machine.

>>42
What the hell is a screenshot of Linux? A photo of the code?

>>41
Fine you pedant.

Why does freetype Xft font rendering suck monkey balls?

>>41
It most certainly does.  Ever seen a virtual terminal on a framebuffer device?

Try not being wrong when you go nitpicking.

>>35
My fonts on Linux look better than any other OS's... not sur wat u mean dere.

>>44
It doesn't. How can it do that?

>>45
Thanks for the correction. I always want to be right when it comes to pedantry.

Is that a fucking /prog/snake in SUSE's favicon?

>>49
It's a chameleon.

Have you installed your SUSE Enterprise today?

HEY GUYS I HEARD THAT IN EDWIN THE INTERFACE IS IN ALL CAPS? IS THAT TRUE? IT'D BE GREAT, BECAUSE I'D FEEL AT HOME. THANKS.

Interesting, I just recently installed Ubuntu Gutsy and noticed that the font rendering was different. It was set to software smoothing. Having a look at the different options, I discovered "subpixel rendering (LCDs)". I couldn't decide which I preferred, the software smoothing or subpixel rendering. I think I prefer the subpixel rendering after comparing painstakingly, because the software smoothing is less crisp. Of course, the nice thing about software smoothing is that it tends to be good at appearing the same as how it would look when printed on paper (so they say).

(And by recently I mean, I've just done it and opened /prog/)

The last datum was   handled incrementing the   instruction address would   make it overflow   The carry would   add one to   take those rights   away So is   certainly not a   BB code idiom   Such as Hax!
