Even among the Ubuntu variants, font rendering is only smooth in GTK-based desktop environments, i.e. GNOME/Unity and XFCE. Last time I checked, fonts looked awful in Kubuntu, especially if you opened either Firefox or LibreOffice. Lubuntu likewise looks like it received none of the font rendering improvements that Ubuntu has had by default for ages.
Of course, "awful" is subjective so you might prefer the way KDE and LXDE render fonts. But it doesn't change the fact that they're different.
- blinkingled 14y agoYou can make the fonts looks equally good in Kubuntu by doing this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/130758/how-to-configure-kubuntu-fonts-to-look-line-ones-used-in-unity-ubuntu-12-04 http://askubuntu.com/questions/130758/how-to-configure-kubun... and changing the Desktop Effect -> Scaling Method to Crisp.
- kijin 14y agoDoes it also affect Firefox and LibreOffice?
- blinkingled 14y agoYes, just make sure to use the gtk-oxygen theme with the right font for GTK+ apps.
