It was only a few years ago that, if you didn't want everything to look like crap, you needed to install Infinality-patched libs and explicitly configure font hinting. How far we've come.
- zem 6y agoit was also astonishingly hard to do. turns out just because you can tell things don't look quite as nice doesn't mean you know how to tweak the infinality settings to achieve a better look - or at least i didn't. i finally gave up and went back to the default fonts. (ubuntu looked much nicer at the time, but even the package that claimed to reproduce ubuntu fonts on arch didn't quite work)
- Jnr 6y agoFew years? Last time I had to install Infinality patchset was about 10 years ago. Font rendering on Archlinux has been looking great for years now.
