Linux fonts have never been beautiful, and probably never will be. The talent is just not there. Give me a high DPI Mac any day. Now that is beauty.

- mmcnl 2y agomacOS doesn't do anything with fonts. They removed all aliasing features. The Apple solution is to use retina displays for everything. That works great with Linux too.
- kalleboo 2y agomacOS absolutely does antialiasing, it's just grayscale antialiasing instead of sub-pixel antialiasing. This is obvious if you mess with CSS "font-smoothing: none"
- omnimus 2y agoI am not sure if you are talking about fonts included with the OS or about rendering. But on high DPI screen all OS render fonts well (and pretty much the same). Its how the OS renders the small type on low DPI screens where lots of guessing from rendering engine has to happen. About the font choices for sure Mac has better selection than open source typefaces… but you know you can take your San Francisco and install it on Linux if you want.
