Description Hector Luis Gimbatti 2011-02-09 04:10:44 UTC
Created attachment 477727 [details]
Ubuntu's 10.10 /etc/fonts/

Description of problem:

Font rendering on Fedora 14 is poor compared to Ubuntu 10.10. If one uses Ubuntu's /etc/fonts/ directory (that's it, fontconfig package) we would see inmediatly a drastic improvement in font rendering. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
14

How reproducible:

Editing a text file in gedit.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make use of any application which contains a text box.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Poor rendering of fonts.

Expected results:

A good rendering.

Additional info:

I attach a .tar file which contains the directory /etc/fonts/ as provided by Ubuntu 10.10.

If you want to test this just make a backup of your /etc/fonts directory, and extract the file fonts-ubuntu.tar in /etc/.

Comment 1 Akira TAGOH 2011-04-08 09:23:47 UTC
Can you say more please? are you talking about default fonts for any languages or are you comparing the rendering with the same font?

That's hard to measure from the above claim only.

Comment 2 Akira TAGOH 2012-04-05 10:08:43 UTC
Fedora 14 is EOL and no responses to comment#1 for the year. I'm closing this so far. please reopen with the certain explanation if you still see any issues.
