anyway, it's called Arc. There is a GTK theme and then a Firefox plugin to make it fit in better.

How the fuck OpenBSD look better than Ubuntu and my Arch with Infinality. WTF?
Anyone have a decent idiot-proof guide for infinality?
Using Arch if that matters.
>>51232099
Because infinality isn't necessary these days. Most arch users don't know this because they just parrot the same thing over and over and at the same time talk about muh minimalism when they really are complete hypocrites.
>>51232137
You should be able to find the answer to this yourself if you use arch.

Why is FF's font rendering (even in D2D) better than Chrome's?

You must be joking. The letters are fuzzy.
>>51232626
i dont see any problem
it has the perfect thickness and its smooth, looks perfect on a retina display
>>51232981
It has jagged edges and is not in the slightest bit smooth.
Put your glasses on macfag.
>>51233022
ok, i challenge you to post a better font
>>51233037
Wow never saw that coming.
It's not about the font retard, it's the rendering which it not good.
>>51232318
Not necessary, but very easy to set up compared to manually building your own fontconfig from scratch and it's "good enough" for most people. If I had a decent monitor I'd make the effort but with my shitty t420 screen there's little difference between okay and perfect rendering.
>>51228920
not >>51228715
Arch is a very common theme I guess
>>51233212
It's not an effort to set up your own, just a couple of good fonts and a basic declaration, it's all that's necessary.
>>51233160
way too much spacing between letters to read comfortably.
kerning looks off.

Thanks, glad we settled that.
>>51226648
I've tried all these aftermarket font renderers like mactype gdipp, and I'm convinced all you cunts are meming.
They all look like GARBAGE. Yes, Linux and OSX render fonts better, but installing those engines on Windows just makes things worse.

It's much more comfortable to read with a classic skinny letter font
>>51233587
Your screenshot shows text rendered at a large size, probably because of something like a hidpi screen. where most good font rendering shines is on smaller sizes (in pixels)
>>51233600
Not him but that does look pretty bad and it's nothing to do with no being bold like mac-cunts.
>>51233600
Your text does look a bit grey though, maybe look at your hinting?
>>51233600
I for one actually liked it. It's clear

Stock font rendering
>>51233532
It's so sad how font rendering is still so shit on windows. I don't think it's as big of a deal on a low resolution screen like my laptop but it's more obvious on a high resolution screen.
>>51233605
Well I'm using 11pt font for most of my settings and a hidpi screen.
>>51233686
It must change the pixel size to look the same size as on 96 dpi, good technology going on there, but for most people still on 96 dpi, it looks awfully big. wouldn't know how to fix it though
>>51233618
>>51233633
I think it's screen dependent.
Different screens require different levels of hinting and antialiasing for text.
I use an old thinkpad x200t and when I connect an external monitor I have to change a few settings
>>51233686
Holy smokes that looks horrid
>>51233709
Isn't that just a resolution problem?
>>51233731
maybe ppi?
>>51233731
Of course it could also be the saturation and contrast settings on the monitor itself. didn't think of that
>>51233705
And here's an old screencap I made when I was still using Arch with Infidelity fonts.
>>51233705
Gnome doubles everything up like OSX using the commandgsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2
I guess the fonts in my image looks big to everyone else but on my 1440p display they still look small.
>>51233730
Why. Is it because of Numix?
>>51226648
Is the latest version still 2 year old bullshit? I remember it did more bad than good when I last tried it, especially on Chrome with Nip fonts.
>>51233826
>I guess the fonts in my image looks big to everyone else but on my 1440p display they still look small.
Yes that's exactly what's happening. It's funny as they look huge on my 1080p 96dpi screen. :)
