Description of problem: Nimbus font are now very difficult to use, and was perfect in f26. I've tried tweak-tool different hinting & antialiasing but cannot help. I've tried dozen of different mono fonts and there is not a single font that would look good/usable in terminal. regards, L. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This is highly subjective, of course. In any case, font rendering is largely determined by freetype.

All I'm saying is - eg. Nimbus mono font, renders quite differently on f27, see f26 and compare. Sure, it's subjective and you know... I think I've gotten used to new f27, maybe it's not so bad after all.
ok, something among below packages updates changed rendering again, and now the same font appear different. What does it?
