I'm confused. Doesn't Firefox use Freetype on Linux? Freetype has subpixel rendering.

- ahartmetz 7y agoAFAICT Firefox text rendering has always been fine on Linux. Chrome until a year or two ago had no subpixel antialiasing, different gamma for antialiasing, or whatever - its text rendering used to look ugly, or more neutrally: different from everything else.
- mmmrk 7y agoSubpixel rendering is different from subpixel positioning. See e.g. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=824153 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=824153 for some gory details.
