Good point man.

That's the MAJOR difference between MAC OS and Windows
or Windows XP and Windows 7
or MAC OS, Windows and Ubuntu (haven't used Fedora, new around here)
If we can pull this one off - good type will begin to fix the design. It will tell you when things are off.
Writing an open letter / blog post about it!
- Zev 16y agoThe problem with font rendering is (or, was) patents, not technology. Freetype can render text as nicely as OS X does. But, for a very long time, this was disabled by default. http://freetype.sourceforge.net/patents.html http://freetype.sourceforge.net/patents.html has links to the patents. Which have apparently expired.
- kingsidharth 16y agoNow we know why we love Open! Anyways, now that they have expired we can do better, right? I am getting Ubuntu 10.4 let's see how nice it is with fonts! Cheers mate1
