Font rendering just sucks on Linux, if you like it or not. Microsoft got a few patents end of the 90s and their fonts clearness are just the best. End of story.
- erikbye 9y agoDepending on the distro you use there are various hoops to jump through to improve font rendering. Check out FreeType.
- thomastjeffery 9y agoThat as been the opposite of my experience for the last 5+ years. In my experience, Windows has been the worst at font rendering, and Linux (freetype) the best, with OS X somewhere in the middle (closer to Linux). Of course, there are edge cases, especially if you are trying to use Windows' fonts, but I very rarely run into them.
