> It is still very cool to be able to tune fonts that precisely on Linux, and it's a major feature. Agreed. While much of the discussion surrounds making font rendering more Mac-like, fontconfig enables people to modify font rendering to suit their personal needs. For example: one user can turn off anti-aliasing to enjoy sharper fonts, while another turn it on to enjoy more accurate font rendering. Heck, you can even tweak things down to the font and application level without relying upon each program exposing that functionality. This is not the sort of feature that will appeal to many people, but it is incredibly useful for those who use it.
