Show me an operating system with better font rendering

brodip: u cnt

That font rendering is atrocious.
>>
What font rendering?
There is literally no font rendering anywhere in that picture.

Linux

>>51447505
bitmap > vector desu
>>
>>51447746
What's wrong with vectors? It makes the font infinitely adjustable.
>>
>>51447763
But every operating system will interpret them differently
>>
>>51447806
Who the hell cares? Just stick to your favorite one and say "fuck you" to the other ones.
>>
>>51447255
epic font rendering meme, now kindly off yourself
>>
>>51447806
Not if standards are well defined.
>>
>>51447255
You have finally asked a question to which the answer is "Windows 10 has better font rendering".
>>
>>51447255
Is that xfce?
>>
>>51447806
That's a good thing.
>>
>>51447255
well it was better than what PCs could do at least
>>
>>51447923
>only smoothed on title bars
>that italic
>that fucking ugly italic
Windows 98 could do better.

Quite nice for CRT I guess. Very sharp and clear, no LCD subpixel stuff.

>>51447995
And then it goes into the crapper. Letters are too close together and run together. For instance the u and r in "Parkour Generations".
>>
>>51447975
what emulator are you running this in?
>>
I miss Mac OS, I wish they kept that theme available in OS X like Windows 7 kept classic theme.

Win10 has the best IME.

That's one ugly computer.

all in ones always look retarded honestly
and I usually like retro stuff

>>51448080
Windows 7 kept the classic theme for technical reasons only.
>>
>>51449366
>>51449437
The Color Classic was basically the hacked up failed abortion of compact macs and LC all-in-ones

I think both of them are pretty rare though, I kind of want one just for that.
>>
>>51449456
Oh? For compatibility purposes Windows 7 Basic seems to cut it. I thought it was put in because it cost like nothing since it was already there, and it shuts up the "ugh this new look is ugly" crowd.
>>
>>51449545
The fallback GPU driver uses Classic amd high-contrast themes only gained support visual themes on Windows 8 so Classic is still needed on Windows 7. Microsoft overhauled DWM and the fallback driver so that Aero can run with software acceleration so Classic is no longer necessary.
