wtf
I've seen problems with font rendering but this one is new, try selecting another graphics driver perhaps?
>>
Looking normal on my end OP
>>
>>51293354
yeah, just tried that
haven't restarted yet as i'm downloading an update

i've had it installed on here before with older versions of xubuntu just fine, even uefi (like now) and it was fine.

at first i thought it was uefi but i guess not.
>>
Not even running Looix and I'm having this problem as well.

Youtube videos links seem to break the font.
>>
>>51293368
op here
do you have gdipp or mactype?
they fuck up often because they're discontinued.
>>
just changed my drivers and it's fixed now.

usually it picks up the driver properly.. weird..

that's worse
>>
>>51293375

I actually have no idea.

I've never bother dealing with fonts as it has never been an issue but I'm going to take a gander at that it might be my special snowflake browser that's using either one of those.
>>
>>51293446
could also be an extension you installed
i used to have some font smoothing thing in chrome
>>
>>51293469

If I find out what's wrong and the thread is still here I'll report back.
>>
never install meme distros or offshoots of distros. Your only real choice is either Ubantu or Fedora, because they actually have support.
>>
>>51293493
Xubuntu is usually pretty good with support/
>>
>>51293493
It's ubuntu with xfce
>no support
>>
I had this problem once.
I fixed by removing some link from /etc/fonts/conf.d. I think it was lcdfilter.
>>
>>51293417
Holy shit it's worse
