[csw-users] Re: Problems with fonts and libraries

[Alexey Kuzmichev]

Actually I already played with subpixel smoothing before to no avail,
but anyways, I installed CSW gnome-font-properties and a bunch of
additional CSW libs and tried again. Here's the result:

o- Subpixel (LCD) - immediately breaks fonts (makes them unreadable) in
SOME applications (e.g.  gnome-font-properties, bluefish). CSW Mozilla
and other non CSW apps are not affected.

o- Hinting set to None - text is readable, but font shapes are horrible.
Mozilla and non-CSW apps are not affected again.

o- All other options do not change anything anywhere. Checked with 10x
magnifier :-) Mozilla's fonts are still blurred, bluefish ones are still
bad shaped.

The interesting thing is that non CSW apps or CSW apps with the standard
libs do not have problems with fonts.  Am I still doing anything wrong?

I'm using AFB card and LCD monitor.

Thank you,
Alexey
