Hello,
I have installed YDL 2.1 on a beige G3 for a couple of weeks now.
I am quite pleased with it.
There are still a few issues I don't seem to be able to fix. I'll put
them in separate e-mails to simplify followups.
Issue #5 : fonts.
It struck me that the fonts I have installed look ugly in most sizes on
screen.
Some examples:
* I created a document in KWord. In this document I had some black
helvetica text on a green background. When I looked at this in the print
preview section, the black characters were surrounded by white speckles
(I suspect they are from anti-aliasing). This looks ugly. I don't know
for sure what it would look like on a printer, since I can't print (yet).
* Some (most ?) fonts look terribly jagged in mozilla at larger sizes.
Take for example http://www.mozilla.org/start/, then the 'Getting
Involved with mozilla' heading looks quite poor.
Is there anything I can do about this ? Do I maybe have bad fonts
installed ? Or some settings wrong ?
TIA,
Geert Janssens
