Smooth font settings

[dobbi]

Hello guys,

I installed the ms core fonts however they are not optimal readable in my browser as they are pretty blurred.

I have the following font settings in Gnome.

Antialiasing: Subpixel
Hinting: Low

What else can I do to improve my fonts?

Install the freetype-freeworld package from rpmfusion.

Set the hinting on full

Reboot

There is no need to change the default fonts to the liberation set, that is a personal choice. After installing the freetype package and setting the hinting to full, the default sans fonts look a lot better anyway.

I've found the "slight" hinting option to be more satisfactory than "full." Different strokes for different folks...

Greatly improved my font rendering by using the custom local.conf font configuration from the blog mentioned by sonoran.

Also, if you are running compiz, right click the Fusion icon and make sure that "indirect rendering" is checked. This has also improved my font rendering (with NVIDIA graphics card).
