I wish it was true but come on, Linux may be good for many uses but simple things like decent font rendering still aren't up to par with Windows or Mac so forget desktop Linux for the masses.
- frankzinger 9y agoHow long ago did you check? The font rendering on my Ubuntu installation is way better than "decent" and I prefer it to Windows' fonts.
- cutler 9y agoWith standard user interfaces like the shell and file browser Ubuntu font rendering is fine. The trouble with Linux, however, is that apps tend to do their own thing and with font-rendering they tend to do it badly. LibreOffice is a good example. Last time I looked at it I just gave up on Linux ever competing for mainstream desktop adoption.
