What you're saying is "I have a high DPI screen, don't care about those who don't". Because these other arguments are really unimportant compared to the the better results of subpixel rendering where applicable.
- NoGravitas 1y agoNot sure about that. I don't really like subpixel rendering on a 100dpi screen very much because of color fringing. But add in the other disadvantages and it just seems not worth it.
- ahartmetz 1y agoSubpixel rendering is configurable. Some algorithms are patented, but the patents have expired. I'm not sure if the "good" algorithms have made it to all corners of computing. I use latest Kubuntu, slight hinting and subpixel rendering. It looks very good to me. On my rarely used Windows partition, I have used ClearType Tuner (name?) to set up ClearType to my preferences. The results are still somewhat grainy and thin, but that's a general property of Windows font rendering.
