Haven't seen one lately, so let's have one!
Criticise and give advice on how to better one's rendering.
Today's wikipedia page is the one for the chinese town "Yinchuan".

Fuck, the(yellow )and thew ithinthing is bothering me.
Is Infinality Bundle with the MS preset the closest I can get to Windows 7-style font rendering on Linux? Seems pretty close but just slightly heavier. I'm so used to Windows hinting that everything else looks gross to me.

AYY LMAO I DISCOVERED SOMETHING
Installed xubuntu yesterday. I'm using Ubuntu font Light 10. Any tips to make it look better?
>>55373716
Have you tried that Infinality thing? I'm not a Linux user, but I've heard (and seen) a lot of good things about it.
>>55373716
get a better resolution screen
>>55375338
Decent.
>>55375429
Excellent.
>>55375495

>>55375538
Good.
>>55375631
Decent.
>>55375591
I'm not sensitive to font renderings. Can you explain your comment a little more?
>>55375648
What's there to explain?
what font do you use?
i'm >>55375538 with whatever is the default one.

Windows XP, firefox.
Top is ClearType, bottom is the standard rendering; which one looks better? I don't have an eye for this stuff.
>>55375877
Forgot image..
freetype2 with Roboto
Any tips? It's better than windows but I feel it could still be improved
>>55375876
with infinality
>>55375886
top
>>55375877
What the fuck man? Are you so feeble minded that you need us cockjockeys to make a decision on behalf of your eyes? Are you really desperate to fit in and be accepted?
Just choose one for fucks sake.
win7 mactype nohinting renderweight 1.2
here's with the liberation fonts
>>55375852
Decent.
>>55375886
Top: decent. Bottom: trash.
>>55375904
Pretty good. It seems a bit blurry, I feel like the contrast can be improved.
>>55375912
Bad.
>>55375942
Excellent.
>>55375965
Excellent.
>>55375973
Excellent.
>>55376038
Good.
>>55376071
Excellent.
>>55375308
Normally I have it plugged to a 1080 monitor so yeah. Only using laptop screen because I was in bed.
>>55375973
>>55376288
Is just cleartype and nothing else
>>55376313
And? At that resolution ClearType is enough to properly render text. Most issues appear when the text is small.
>>55376038
>>55376288
what can i do to make it better?
>>55376372
At that resolution, not much. What's your configuration? I guess Loonix. Try a better font family and maybe Infinality.
dejavu font family
>>55373653
But Windows font rendering is dogshit
Okay.
>thread premise has no hint of irony
>OP is entirely serious about the repeated posting of at most 3 font rendering profiles
OP you are a faggot
>>55376756
not bad
>>55376756
Yup, this is pretty good. The resolution is not huge, yet a lighter typeface manages to look completely legible and pleasant to the eyes. The Chinese is a bit fucked up, but it could be fixed by using a different typeface.
Jesus Christ, some of you have awful rendering. Why?

>>55377180
That looks pretty sweed famalam, what are you using?
>>55377117
Excellent, although that typeface is too wide for my taste.
>>55377168
Scale back yours and it will look like that too.
>>55377180
Pretty much perfect.
>>55377168
do you really use this big ass font?
that's seriously blind proof.
>>55377208
infinality osx setting & helvetica
>>55375591
>Excellent.
thanks

>>55377232
I'm usually leaned back in my chair. For text-heavy sites that are formatted wider than they are long, I find it much more pleasant to zoom in by 10-25% and scroll, or just swap to a reading-mode. It doesn't look that large on my laptop's screen. Here it is scaled out though.
>>55377334
I don't know what you're doing, but I get zero scaling artifacts.
What do you guys think of this AUR package?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fontconfig-enhanced-defaults/
>>55377354
still quite big in my opinion. mine is 16 on a 1080p 15.6" laptop
