This is how fonts are rendered by Qt3 without libXft
My GPU is NVIDIA 8800GT. Several observations: 1) With vesa video driver everything works fine (alas, the user interface is very unresponsive and everything feels sooooo slow). 2) With *nv* and nvidia drivers everything is broken. 3) I haven't test noveou driver because I run vanilla 2.6.25.6 kernel with no patches applied. 4) After I have downgraded to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-33.fc8.i386 everything works fine with *any* driver, thus the culprit is *definitely* the new X.org server. This bug is *not* reproducible on any hardware other than 8 series of NVIDIA GPU's. Created attachment 309082 [details]
KDE3 konsole (run with --noxft) with Xserver 1.5
can you upgrade to the latest F9 server here: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xorg-x11-server/1.4.99.902/3.20080612.fc9/ It should be in updates quite soon and lets us know if it still happens? I will notify you as soon as I upgrade. I have the same problem with fonts on F9. I have upgraded to latest xorg server and still have this problem. I ran the application and get smudged fonts with either --noxft or changing the font to something like Console. I have an nVidia Quadro-FX 570M (thinkpad) using nvidia driver. I have been pursuing a similar bug in wine with font rendering. http://www.codeweavers.com/support/forums/general/?;t=26;msg=34034 The X.org update from comment #4 hasn't changed anything. The problem persists. I can confirm the same font problem when using the proprietary NVidia driver. The problem is solved (both for the QT application cited above, and crossover office) by using the (open source) 'nv' Xorg driver (instead of the proprietary 'nvidia' one). Incidentally, NVidia seems to be working on fixing the proprietary driver: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=114446 Quote: "This is a known issue that will be fixed in the next driver release." For the record, I'm running Fedora 9 x86_64, on a dell laptop with an NVidia Quadro NVS 135M video card (using nvidia proprietary driver version 173.14.05). I suggest closing the ticket, since the resolution seems to be squarely in NVidia's hands. NVIDIA 173.14.09 driver has solved the issue but it still persists as for 'nv' open source driver. |
