Re: edgy fuzzy fonts bad

I'd be interested in seeing a screenshot.

I just upgraded Dapper with KDE 3.5.5 and after that all Gnome
applications and dialogs had horrible fonts. It was cured by going to
the KDE settings/appearance &themes/fonts, unchecking the antialiasing
checkbox, applying the change, rechecking the antialiasing checkbox,
applying the change and then restarting X.

Another thing I can think of is post your .fonts.conf file, there are
several things you can try there. It may not be set up as well as you
had on Dapper.

I don't like the fonts in edgy, compared to dapper. They are too
fuzzy. In all applications, and all fonts, even the ttf I installed
from my M$ partition. It's a 10 on the yuck factor!

It's particularly objectionable in konsole, with dejavu sans mono at
10 px. It's very difficult to read. I'm still downloading and
installing, so can't try anything in gnome yet.

I have an LCD with the nvidia-glx driver.

Everything is cool in dapper, so I know it's an edgy problem.

This is enough of a problem to make me stay with dapper. I hope it
can be fixed, but so far, I don't see any postings here or in the
forums.

Anyone else having this problem, or can help?

TIA
