Why can only Apple do font rendering right?
>>54149696
Because only faggots fuss over medial things like appearance to that extent.
>>54149696
But literally every OS ever can do the same if you upscale it, set your homo OS to normal scaling and it will have shit font rendering.

>"Medial"
You're not using medial right, btw.
They don't have to support a zoo of LCD types, pixel layouts, pixel pitch, etc.
Lots of things are easier when your hardware is a known target.

Ubuntu's OOTB font rendering is better. As is font rendering with fontconfig-ultimate, the best.
>>54149696
Microsoft obviously doesn't give a shit about font rendering, the abomination that ClearType speaks a clear language.
FreeType is actually okay imo. Still, whatever OS X does is pretty much perfect. I guess they just care much about that kind of stuff.
Ignore the screen resolution.

DisplayPDF.
>>54149696
Because they don't give Indians their work.
>>54149748
This looks worse. Jagged as fuck.

No it isn't. It's just hi-res.
Motherfucker that's a high fucking resolution. I want a 15 inch MBP... Although I'll probably save for a 5K iMac instead.
>>54149736
Are you serious? 99% of all displays are RGB matrices. And even if the layout is RBG or whatever, it's a few lines of code that take care of that.
If you really believe that is the reason why ClearType is such a huge fuckup, then you are a literal retard.
>>54149696
Because your a shill

1280x800 vs 3360x2100
You're comparing a $2000 laptop to one I bought for $100 on ebay.
>>54149779
At least ClearType is legible, I thought we were making fun of freetype here...
>>54149725
Font rendering doesn't need to be bleeding edge.
Hence it is trivial to concentrate on it and overkill its capabilities.
>>54149794
Ok? It's worse.
What's your goal here?
>>54149796
>Font rendering doesn't need to be bleeding edge.
I bet you think GIMP has a good UI too.
>>54149792
>You don't know what you are talking about
Stop projecting.
>Stop posting now, it's not too late.
You stop. Apple's font rendering looks like crap at lower ppi. You retards are comparing apples to oranges.
>>54149811
It doesn't.
And I don't use GIMP.
You ran out of arguments that quickly, you had to blindly shoot in the dark with a crappy assumption? Good stuff, kiddo.
>>54149802
>Ok? It's worse.
Not him, but you're a fucking retard. If you're going to compare font rendering, you do so at the same font size so the same letters have the same height and width (or roughly the same).

Who the fuck posted the picture? Not me that's for sure.

Even Ganoo Linux font rendering looks good at that res, retard.

ClearType is only legible when you are lucky. I had quite a few fonts that looked like complete shit once ClearType has nutted all over the hinting. I was left with some absurdly distorted shadow of the font it's supposed to be. It was especially annoying in MS Word (But that was Win 7, maybe they corrected these things in their botnet edition).
>>54149835

You're saying 'it's worse'. No, it's not worse, it LOOKS worse. If you're not going to compare them at the same size, you might as well save yourself the trouble.
This applies to >>54149855 as well, what an absolute idiot.
>>54149862
Then throw up a fucking viable comparison image
>>54149871
>Then throw up a fucking viable comparison image
I'm not the OP, I'm not that guy either. I haven't posted a single image.
>>54149696
Steve jobs did some course in uni about lettering or some shit and because of that he prioritised it in the design of their operating systems. That mentality must just be continuing after his death.
>>54149748
Turn off the RGB subpixel and you got the perfect font rendering.
>>54149696
That looks like shit, it's all fuzzy. Try Ubuntu. Actually, i think a new release just came out, so now is the perfect time.
>>54150080
Get a new monitor
>>54150066
are you a retard?
>>54149696
Ubuntu looks just as good, if not better.
Nice jpg screenshot btw.

Ubuntu's font rendering is just a good. Requires a hidpi display just like your OSX computer to look good.

Why can only Apple into design right?
I just switched to iOS and it's miles ahead of android. It's so much more comfortable to use.
On my notebook I use Windows 10. It's kinda comfy if you setup up right but I reckon they are also behind Apple design wise
What is the difference compared to Windows?
>>54150851
Because while everyone else makes their shit work apple coats it in glitter and clitori
>>54150428
i know it's tangential, but the scrollbar is not correctly scaled and it's tickling my autism.
>>54150953
Apple shit works perfectly what are you talking about
>>54151915
lagdroidfags have nothing to brag about with their phones except for raw power, which doesn't matter with a god damn phone, so they make all kinds of stupid comments about iOS and winfone.
don't bother arguing with them.
>>54149855
Amusingly enough, MS Word actually has its own font rendering now because ClearType was annoying people.
>>54150428
Daamn that looks good.
its breddy gud with mactype
>>54152505
Blurry as fuck even on a 25" 1440p screen.
